Entrepreneur Roundtable

Are you seeking financing and the bank or investors require that you get an independent valuation? What is the value of your company (including goodwill) prior to the sale, merger or acquisition? Are you in the process of buying out a shareholder/partner in your company and need to know the fair market value of the minority interest? Do you know the value of your company’s Intellectual Property? Does your company’s employee stock option incentive program (ESOP) comply with Section §409A of the Internal Revenue Code?

These are but a few of the reasons that both early stage and established companies are required to have a business valuation performed. In each of these situations, a well-reasoned and defensible financial valuation performed by an independent and impartial appraiser will lend credibility and support to achieve your company’s business objectives.

Melisa Silverman, president of Avenue M Advisors™ Inc., a national boutique financial valuation and consulting services firm, will talk about these issues and share examples of recent business valuations, the reasons for the valuations and the results to each business.

With more than 20 years of industry and valuation experience, Silverman is a dedicated and impartial valuator who analyzes the numbers, uncovers the truth behind the numbers and tells the financial results of the business. Ms. Silverman holds a JD and the professional designation of Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), and is a member of the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA).
