Business Valuations Services

A businesses valuation may also be needed even when the business is not for sale to support estate planning for an owner or partner, for succession planning, to secure a line of credit, or to facilitate a number of other key events that occur in the life cycle of a business. In all of these cases, a well documented, objective, and accurate business appraisal or Capital assets valuation can be of critical importance.

Sterner Consulting is an active business valuation advisor, and has been for decades, assisting clients with business valuations within many different industries.

This extensive experience has helped Sterner Consulting develop very efficient business valuation techniques. We are experts at applying the various measures, tests, and multiples – with appropriate consideration given to both large and small business appraisals. We consider not only the business assets and valuation cash flow, but the industry niche in which the business operates. Our financial planning and proforma modeling systems employ best practices and will compare the subject business to groups of other similar companies operating within that same NASICS code.

Our skills and experience are particularly applicable to business mergers and acquisitions in the environmental and waste management industries, including landfill sales and acquisitions, buying and selling businesses that operate waste transfer stations, and mergers and acquisitions of both general freight and specialty transportation logistics firms.
Sterner’s Three-Tier Approach to Business Valuations

Our approach to business valuation or business appraisal is threefold: First we develop a valuation based on the application of current industry transaction multiples; then we build financial and forecast models to construct a valuation cash flow for the subject enterprise; the third element is to apply discount cash flow modeling techniques; and, where applicable, we will also use a comparison of sale values within industry segments or niche market areas.

This approach gives us a strong ability to value your business with a good amount of accuracy. We are skilled accountants, talented engineers, and experienced valuators of businesses. Our outstanding small business appraisal results are the result of years of hands on experience, as well as a dedication to applying proven business valuation techniques to produce the best possible small business buying or selling experience for our clients.
