The valuation of a business is important
for a number of reasons, including the possible sale of that
business. Other reasons may be estate planning, employee stock
purchase, planning for a merger or alliance, financing or buy/sell
agreement. Kent Group is well versed in valuation practices.
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.
