A Business Valuation of your private business has the same objective as valuing real estate or stock. What is the value of the business in an unforced sale? Because your firm may be unique, private or public, there may be no comparables, no tables or guides one could use to value your business. However, as accredited business valuation appraisers, Fussell Valuation Associates use the industry standards and apply the latest laws to achieve your business valuation that is accepted and defendable should litigation arise. With a total of 70 years combined experience and continued education programs, Fussell Valuation Associates provides all the skill required to value your business in a business valuation report. BECAUSE OF THE RECENT CHANGES IN THE USPAP STANDARDS, unless your CPA is an accredited USPAP compliant APPRAISER your CPA cannot legally appraise and/or be a legal expert should litigation arise.

Valuation methods for business valuations typically use one of the three following appraisal approaches: the asset approach, the market approach, or the income approach.

The appraiser will reconcile the various values rendered from each appraisal method in order to determine the most accurate value for your company.

Once the business valuation has been completed, only an Accredited USPAP appraiser can certify the value for IRS purposes, litigation and banking use.

The frequently asked questions of:

• Should I buy software to get my business valuation? or
• Wouldn’t it be Ok if I just got the $299 business valuation Online?

Both of these questions can be answered easily. If you are going to use these boiler plate business valuations for your personal use, no one else will rely on this report, EVER, then they are OK to use. If there is any chance a second person will rely on the same report, then it is safe to assume 3 years from now litigation could happen. YOU SHOULD ONLY USE A CERTIFIED 2008-2009 USPAP Report prepared by an accredited appraiser that will also be available to testify as an expert appraisal witness in court for the defense of your business valuation.

Your Business Valuation will include machinery and equipment appraisal and all assets including the business intangible assets. Intangible assets can include:
• Below market leases;
• Beneficial contracts;
• Copyrights;
• Goodwill and good standing due to previous success;
• Franchise agreements;
• In-house developed software;
• Patents and applications for patents;
• Proprietary lists;
• Ownership of trademarks and brand names; and
• Subscriptions and service contracts

Intangible assets are highly important factors when creating a business valuation. In some business valuations the intangible assets are valued at more than the tangible assets and so for this reason, simply basing a business valuation upon financial statements means that the business valuation is unlikely to accurately reflect a true value.

In order for an accurate business valuation to be performed, a business appraiser will require the following information in order to conduct the business valuation:
• Accounting methods;
• Actual or potential litigation;
• All share transactions;
• Contracts in force;
• Current and future marketing strategies;
• Current financials;
• Customer relations details;
• Forecast of business growth at time of valuation;
• Industry information;
• Insurance;
• History;
• Key personnel and management details;
• Major competition;
• Ownership details;
• Past, current and future financing status;
• Services and/or products supplied by the business; and
• Supplier details

These details, combined with intangible asset details, allow a business appraiser to perform an accurate business valuation that is irrefutable should the business valuation be dissected in litigation.

Fussell Valuation Associates bring decades of experience and the latest 2008-2009 USPAP compliance to insure that you will receive an accurate business valuation and we are willing to give expert appraisal witness testimony should it be needed in the future.

Business valuations for insurance, divorce, merger, sale, liquidation or natural disaster are just a few reasons Fussell Valuation Associates are chosen especially if there is a chance of litigation on the horizon.

When a business, personal property or real property, is divided or changes hands, it is imperative to ascertain a value that can be defended. In most cases a timely certified appraisal will speed negotiations and avoid litigation and dispel disputes among interested parties.

The individual with the fiduciary responsibility of conducting divorce or estate proceedings for a business, personal property or real property should consult an accredited appraiser. A certified appraisal is the most instrumental tool for the attorney or trustee to use to prevent negotiations from breaking down and to prevent litigation.

Fussell Valuation Associates have been providing valuations for 31 years producing appraisals for intangible, tangible, personal and real properties using USPAP Standards and Rules. Some of the reports were litigated and we also supplied irrefutable Expert Testimony.
