Every business, partnership and individual, at one time or another, must ask the question, “What is it worth?”

Experts remind us that we will experience the greatest wealth transfer in history during the next twenty years as closely held businesses and personal holdings are transferred among generations or through merger or sale.

The basis for all these transactions is proper valuation.

Through our Strategic Partner Alliance, Maxfield Peterson provides professional valuation services for business enterprise and equity interests, as well as intangible assets such as patents, customer lists and goodwill. Valuations are performed according to industry standards.

Valuations are performed for a variety of purposes including:

• Sale or purchase of existing business
• Estate and gift taxation
• Determination of net worth
• Identification and useful life studies of intangible assets
• Test of goodwill impairment
• Buy sell agreements
• Employee Stock Ownership Plans
• Litigation Support
