Business valuations

Business owners need valuations for a multitude of reasons - estate planning, buy/sell agreements, exit planning, etc... The valuation can help drive a decisions on exit timing, marketing strategy, retirement and estate planning, and potential interim steps to increase the businesses value to meet its owner’s goals. FLX works with a well-established valuation specialist to gather all the information about your business needed to provide an in-depth valuation report on your business.

Remember, you should always be considering your company’s value as when making strategic decisions.

Exit planning

Company owners commonly do not see their company from the standpoint of a potential buyer, and thus, ignore the strategic management of the company. Exit planning prepares for the sale of a company to maximize the value of the company, although other non-financial objectives may be pursued including the transition of the company to the next generation, sale to employees or management, and other non-financial objectives.

FLX will assess your business and provide guidance on the steps required to maximize the valuation of your business, whether for sale or transition to the next generation of leadership.
