The valuation of a business is important for a number of reasons, including the possible sale of the business. Other reasons may include: estate planning, employee stock purchase, planning for a merger or alliance, financing or buy/sell agreement. The essential elements we consider include market research into your company's future, recasting the historical financial statements to reflect recurring operations and knowing how to calculate the value of intangible assets in the agribusiness and food industries.

Because of the unique nature of these industries, a classic valuation will not tell you the true value of your company. Kent Group possesses the knowledge to reveal and accentuate the company's hidden intangible value, such as brand names, proprietary know-how, patents and customer base. A detailed valuation provides critical information pertaining not just to the quantitative factors affecting the immediate value of your company, but also delineates the actions needed to enhance the company's value. We provide our clients valuable feedback as to the impact of the various valuation components and how they should impact future decision making and investment opportunities.
