Business Valuation Services

SEACAP provides valuation services in concert with client-related business sale and acquisition engagements. The SEACAP approach blends traditional valuation methodology with market-tested experiences to produce practical appraisal conclusions. Business appraisals can be required for a variety of reasons including:

• Purchase or sale event
• Shareholder exit planning
• Buy-sell agreements
• Recapitalization
• Partnership formation and dissolution

A company's value is best determined by using multiple appraisal methods, which are taken from three basic valuation approaches:

• The Asset Approach - Involves a value analysis of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities.
• The Market Approach - Focuses on the development of valuation metrics through an analysis of purchase-and-sale transactions involving other comparable companies.
• The Income Approach - Produces an estimate of a company's value through analyses of the subject's earning capacity. Methods involve a capitalization of the subject company's earnings stream, or a present value derived from discounting projected future earnings.
