Buy-Sell Agreement Valuation Services
A properly structured buy-sell agreement is essential for maintaining business stability during ownership transitions. At Arbiter Valuation, we provide expert, tailored valuation services that ensure transparency, fairness, and long-term security for business owners and stakeholders. With decades of experience, we deliver accurate, defensible valuations for private and public companies.
Independent Appraisal for Trigger Events
When a partner exit, retirement, or disability triggers a buy-sell provision, an independent valuation can help ensure equitable treatment of all parties. We frequently serve as named appraisers in both single- and multi-appraiser processes, leveraging recognized methodologies and current market data to produce fair assessments. By focusing on transparency and impartiality, we strive to minimize conflicts and facilitate smoother ownership transitions.
Strategic Buy-Sell Agreement Reviews
A well-crafted buy-sell agreement is a cornerstone of stable shareholder relationships. We examine valuation formulas, funding mechanisms, and any potential ambiguities or gaps, providing constructive feedback to strengthen the agreement’s enforceability. Our approach helps business owners and legal counsel craft clear, defensible provisions that guard against costly disputes and align with the long-term goals of the organization.
Litigation Support & Expert Testimony
If disagreements related to a buy-sell agreement escalate to litigation, our valuation experts offer detailed analyses and credible testimony. We work closely with attorneys to clarify complex financial matters, ensuring judges, mediators, or arbitrators have a solid basis for decisions. This disciplined approach can accelerate fair resolutions and reduce the emotional toll often associated with legal proceedings.
