Steps in the valuation process

UBC focuses on strong communication with the business owner to identify relevant factors that impact the valuation process. To ensure a fair and accurate valuation of your business, the UBC business brokers in Utah use the following proven process:

• Meet with principals and their advisors to discuss the purpose of the appraisal and general guidelines to be followed.
• Perform an on-site inspection of the business and interview key employees.
• Analyze and recast financial statements.
• Evaluate tangible and intangible assets such as contracts, proprietary processes, and market position.
• Highlight strengths, areas for improvement, and growth opportunities.
• Review final written report with principals.

Getting your company in shape for maximum value

In addition to valuation services, UBC can also help you determine how to maximize value and how to position your company in order to sell.

Important factors such as cash flow, profitability, margins, leadership succession, and many others can have a significant impact on the transaction value of your company.
