Value

WHAT IS YOUR COMPANY WORTH?

While valuations are performed for many purposes, Blue River specializes in valuation services for transaction purposes only. With market realities in hand, business owners are equipped to make wise decisions based on reliable market value information.

For Sellers

What is your company worth? The answer could be important for a variety of reasons such as gift or estate taxes, insurance purposes, dispute resolution, or decision-making guidance for a transaction. When a realistic understanding of value matters, we can provide a solution that meets your budget. Our access to extensive valuation databases of private transaction information enable Blue River to respond expeditiously and accurately to your needs.

Blue River offers a variety of valuation solutions to meet the diverse needs of middle market companies.

Calculation of Value (least costly) – We work with you to select a series of the most relevant approaches and methods to analyze your company’s financial performance and projections. A short report accompanies the suggested formulaic results. When one desires to understand value from a “high” level, the Calculation of Value can be an ideal and inexpensive way forward.

Conclusion of Value (moderately priced) – For valuations that required advanced analysis and a formal report, such as gift or estate taxes, litigation support or other need, Blue River provides a Conclusion of Value Report pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA). Our experience, research-driven methodologies and awareness of the pulse in the marketplace deliver realistic and defendable results every time.

Private Capital Market Options Report – Some owners want as much information about the selling process and capital markets as possible, because the sale of a business can be a very big deal. Blue River offers a Private Capital Market Options Report that delivers an exhaustive valuation analysis together with market insights available to the company.

Major topical headings from the report include Valuation differences between Financial and Strategic Buyers, & Transactional Tax Issues. Also included are Transaction Types (e.g., financial, strategic, management buyouts, ESOPs, recapitalizations, etc.), Buyer and Investors Types, Advanced Tax Strategies, Current Market Trends, How to Increase Your Company’s Value, and a host of others. With this Report, owners will be informed, confident and prepared to proactively pursue transactional outcomes specifically aligned with their true motivations.

FOR BUYERS

Buy-Side Financial Modeling

Are you are a buyer seeking valuation or negotiating guidance on a targeted acquisition? Blue River’s financial models can provide clarity. We incorporate the target company’s historical and projected financial factors, deal structure, debt service, capital expenditures, hurdle rates and other elements that will affect the acquisition. Overpaying for a company is the primary cause for bad deals. Do not get caught in that trap when Blue River is here to help.

“Valuation is equal parts art and science. While the numbers are important, they only tell part of the story. Industry dynamics, position in the competitive landscape, hidden value drivers and detractors, all play into the true value of an enterprise.”

From the initial consultation to the final report, the process was seamless and efficient. The team at Blue River took the time to thoroughly understand our business and provided a comprehensive valuation that was both accurate and insightful.
One of the things that set Blue River apart from other firms is its commitment to customer service. They are always available to answer questions and provide guidance, and they go above and beyond to ensure complete satisfaction with their services.
In addition to the high level of service, I was also extremely impressed with the quality of the valuation report itself. The report was well-organized and easy to understand, and it provided valuable information that will be instrumental in making informed decisions moving forward.
Overall, I highly recommend Blue River Financial Group to anyone in need of professional valuation services. They are truly the best in the business and we will definitely be using them again in the future.”
