What is value? At Hutchinson and Bloodgood LLP, our Business Valuation Consultants can help answer this critical question.

Our business valuations provide you the satisfaction and confidence of knowing how much your business is worth. With our timely and efficient service, we deliver peace of mind.

The complexity of today's business market makes it likely that a valuation of a business will be needed. A valuation establishes the worth of a business using the three valuation approaches: income approach, market approach and asset approach.

The many diverse reasons for a business valuation include mergers and acquisitions, gifting and estate taxes and buy-sell agreements.
