About the Program
For family-owned companies, succession planning is typically an important, and sometimes complex, issue that requires an assessment of the value of the business under various exit strategy or planning options. These issues typically require the assistance of legal counsel and other advisors who are oftentimes given the responsibility by their clients to coordinate a current view on the valuation of the business from an independent advisory firm. The purposes for a board of directors or legal counsel to consult with an independent advisory firm for a valuation analysis vary widely based on the facts and circumstances, although common reasons include a strategic assessment of exit planning or capital structure alternatives, gift and estate tax planning, succession planning, the issuance of synthetic equity, an inbound indication of interest, or structuring of a buy-sell agreement. This presentation will provide helpful information for the audience to consider when reviewing the business valuation process by providing an overview on several key areas worth discussing, including the engagement letter process, reviewing the engagement objectives, standards of value, business valuation fundamentals, common valuation approaches, valuation discounts and premiums, as well as other practical tips.
