​

Business Valuation

​

There are many stages of your business where business valuation is useful, and a few where it is required by IRS or other government entities. Business valuation is required when a major shareholder dies, is involved in a dispute or divorce, or wants to make a gift of closely held stock. It is also required when forming a stock ownership plan, converting from a C-corp to an S-corp and in several other situations.

Besides these situations, business valuation is simply a good business practice for planning: estate planning, succession planning, determining life insurance needs of your firm’s principals, benchmarking for buy-sell agreements, to name a few.

​

But business valuation requires the skills of an expert. Many business owners who think they know business valuation think a company is worth four times EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), but that estimate can vary based on industry, business risks, current debt and many other factors.

​

When you even suspect that you need business evaluation, consult the one-stop solution for law firm management – LBSI.

​

Creating/Modifying Your Firm’s Business Plan

​

If you’re open for business, you need a written business plan. It gives your firm direction and helps you quickly see whether you’re meeting your goals or veering off course – in time to get back on track.

​

You know your business. But to write a useful plan, you need an expert to ask the right questions. You also need an outsider to look objectively at your firm’s current status and goals. You’ll be able to meet those goals better and faster with an accurate view of where you are now.

​

LBSI specialists can not only help you create a business plan; we can guide you in updating it to reflect changing conditions.
