In selling as in medicine, prescription before diagnosis is malpractice.

Before you buy any part of a small business or investment option you need to have a good acquisition plan and evaluate the financial capabilities or shortcomings of the business venture in which you wish to invest or divest. However, these aspects are best evaluated by an investment bank and the valuation process suited and matched to the particular industry in which you operate. We work directly with clients to maximize the amount with which they are able to sell their businesses.

In recent years, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) have undergone a significant transformation to a fair value reporting standard. Acquisitions are accounted for under purchase accounting rules for which acquired intangible assets are identified and valued separately. US GAAP outlines five general categories of intangible assets. Intangible assets with an indefinite life and any remaining goodwill are not amortized, but rather are subject to periodic impairment testing. Goodwill impairment testing requires the valuation of a company’s reporting units.
