A Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) is a trained and certified expert in this field. So, why is a business valuation necessary?  Ownership interests in privately held companies often represent a significant portion of one's estate and/or portfolio. The value of an interest in a privately held company, as opposed to stock in a public company, is usually unknown because there is no active market to sell or trade that interest from which to ascertain or approximate value. Value determinations are most commonly needed to calculate estate tax upon death, split up family assets in a divorce, and negotiate value in a purchase, sale or merger of a business enterprise. Other common reasons why a holder of an interest in a privately held company might require a business valuation include: *Estate & Gift Tax Purposes *Mergers & Acquisitions *Purchase or Sale of Stock *Litigation *Employee Benefit Plans *Buy-Sell Agreements *Shareholder Disputes *Economic Loss/ Wrongful Death/ Wrongful Termination *Divestitures *Divorce *Employee stock ownership plans Credible cases require credible, expert support. Schramm & Company offers certified valuation analysis and has experience in assisting attorneys in the discovery process by reviewing financial records, transactions, financial statements, and tax returns. This considerable knowledge is a significant asset, which attorneys can use in developing interrogatories, and lines of questioning involving business and financial matters.
