Trusted Worth Valuation Services Company

A business valuation is an analysis of the economic value of a company or ownership interest. It considers information such as the company’s financial condition, operations, ownership structure, market position, value drivers, and risks. The resulting work can support transactions, succession planning, ESOP matters, estate and gift tax requirements, divorce settlements, judicial proceedings, and other decisions.

A valuation may be needed when a business is being sold, transferred to family members, included in an estate, contributed to an ESOP, reviewed for gift or estate tax purposes, or involved in a divorce or judicial proceeding. Owners may also seek valuation insight when preparing for an exit, buy-sell arrangement, partner transaction, or other ownership decision.

An ESOP valuation determines the value of a company or ownership interest connected with an employee stock ownership plan. Business Valuation Writers has experience valuing both controlling and minority interests for ESOP purposes. The work can support plan administration, annual reporting, compliance needs, and other requirements involving an independent, defensible business value.

Gift tax valuation generally addresses a business interest transferred during the owner’s life, while estate tax valuation commonly addresses an interest held at death for estate administration and related filings. The appropriate analysis depends on the transfer or valuation date, ownership interest, documentation, and applicable reporting requirements. Business Valuation Writers supports both types of engagements.

Business Valuation Writers offers Form 706 Valuation and Form 709 Valuation services. Form 706 commonly relates to estate tax reporting, while Form 709 commonly relates to gift tax reporting. A valuation engagement analyzes the relevant business interest and produces documentation intended to support the applicable filing and its IRS-related requirements.
