Business Valuations

Matson, Driscoll & Damico’s Certified Valuation Analysts (CVAs) have the experience to deliver to clients an objective and accurate assessment of a company’s value at a specified point in time.

MD&D’s business valuation assessments are based on accepted industry guidelines and relevant assumptions, and are critical in the following circumstances:

• Buy/sell agreements
• Determination of damages in third-party liability matters
• Dissenting shareholder actions
• Divorce settlements
• Estate and succession/exit planning
• Initial Public Offerings
• Partner disputes
• Public domain matters

MD&D’s CVAs also provide business valuation services that can be used as a management or benchmarking tool. These can aid in strategic decisions such as the need to invest additional time and capital, sell or even close a business.

Our experts begin with a review of historical and forecasted financial information for the business. This includes an analysis of the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow as well as a comparison of the company’s performance to similar businesses within the industry.

MD&D also works to understand the business being valued as a whole, examining budgets, leases, sales contracts, purchase agreements, customer lists, local, national and regional economies and management capabilities.
