Are you ready for a refresher course on business valuations? Mary Beth Koester is Rea’s Director of Valuation & Transaction Advisory Services joins unsuitable to walk us through the basics: What is a valuation, why do business owners need one, and what other valuable services does a valuation support? We’ll answer these questions and more using some real-life examples.

Why Should I Get a Valuation (If I’m Not Looking to Sell)?

When most business owners think of valuations, they tend to think of it in the context of a liquidity event, such as a partner passing away, estate planning, or succession planning. However, it’s also just part of a good business strategy and planning for the future.

If you are a business owner or executive, you will be interested in these other topics discussed in this episode:

• How the stock market affects business valuations
• Valuations for “lifestyle companies”
• How you can use valuations for business planning & risk assessment
