Whitener Christopher

Christopher S. Whitener, CPA has a variety of business valuation experiences. We have performed valuations of retail, service, manufacturing, and professional concerns. We have performed valuations for the purposes of negotiating the purchase of a business, conducting the sale of a business, for estate tax planning, and for equitable distribution matters.

For a seller to achieve the anticipated result from the sale of their business the transaction process must be professionally orchestrated. Deal risk must be carefully assessed. The process will rarely allow a second opportunity to get it right. The brokerage process constantly evolves, particularly during the negotiating, deal making, and document preparation stages. The highest price offer amount may not be the best overall deal. An objective opinion on our part serves the best interest of a seller.

Expert valuation of a closely-held business combines financial and economic analysis into a relevant and quantifiable representation of value. An objective of the valuation process is the translation of complex business valuation theory and terminology into a clear and understandable appraisal. If you have been solicited, or otherwise approached in a bona fide manner, about selling your business, you should consider having a business valuation performed.With a formal business value in hand you will have a reference point for making the decision to proceed further with the solicitation and later with the serious negotiations that are involved in selling a business.

For a seller to achieve the anticipated result from the sale of their business the transaction process must not involve taking unnecessary risks. The process will rarely allow a second opportunity to get it right. The brokerage process constantly evolves, particularly during the negotiation, document preparation, and deal making stage.
