Assessing your company’s value — priceless

Description

Abstract: Contractors often decide to assess their companies’ values because of a change in ownership. But valuations also can be crucial in determining how much they can borrow, whether it’s smart to aggressively grow their businesses or hold steady, and whether their estate plans need updating. This article provides a primer on the three valuation methods typically used when valuing a construction business. A sidebar explains why it’s critical to get a valuation done when preparing to sell a business. (Updated 2/27/12)
