We feel strongly that the most important part of your business "paper work" occurs long before the numbers are entered onto the tax forms and financial statements. We are available to our clients during the year for consultation on decisions that have significant tax consequences. Our newsletters and memos keep you abreast of conditions that may affect your business operation and your ultimate income tax liability. Business Valuations As financial professionals, we often hear the question "How much is my business worth?" The increasing sophistication of owners of closely held businesses as well as changing economic and social factors has forced a shift in the evolution and development of valuation theory. The team at WSRB are trained and knowledgeable in the field of business valuation and can assist you with your valuation needs. Each valuation is as unique as the business being appraised. The valuation process requires extensive research and analysis that is tailored to your business and the purpose for which the valuation is being performed. Today business owners, bankers and attorneys are increasingly realizing that businesses have values in excess of their tangible assets. The purposes for having an appraisal are numerous, and include (but are not limited to) the following: Mergers and acquisitions Spin-offs Initial public offerings Allocation of acquisition price Adequacy of life insurance Liquidation or reorganization of a business Litigation support Buy-sell agreements Divorce Minority shareholder interests Compensatory damage cases Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) Estate and gift taxes Charitable contributions If you are in need of valuation services, put the expertise of WSRB to work for you.
