TransValuation
“The TransValuation through The Tenney Group was an extremely important component of succession planning for our 51 year young family business. Additionally, clearly understanding the fair market value of our company has equipped me to confidently invest in what we believe is a very bright future for London Town Cars”
Steve Spencer, President, London TownCars, New York City
A business valuation is used to establish the worth of a company or ownership interest.
Though the process of accurately valuing a transportation business can be complex, the purpose is simple. The current value of your transportation business should influence almost every significant financial decision throughout your company’s life cycle--not just the decision to sell it.
When business owners clearly understand the value of their businesses, they make sound reinvestments in their business where the risks are proportionate to the potential rewards. When it is time to sell their businesses, they are positioned to experience the process in the most seamless and rewarding manner possible.
How often should you obtain a business valuation?
Regularly assessing the value of your transportation business will provide you the tools to improve your business value and to avoid decisions that will adversely affect your business value. The Tenney Group recommends transportation business owners obtain a professional business valuation every 12-18 months.
When is a business valuation necessary?
- Business Sales, Mergers, & Acquisitions
- Divorces
- Partner Buy-Out
- Transferring Ownership to a Son or Daughter
- SBA Financing
- Estate Planning
- Value Enhancement
- Strategic Planning
