Business Valuation Services
Turning Uncertainty Into Insight with Our Expert Business Valuation Services
Whether you’re navigating a legal dispute, planning a transition, or fulfilling regulatory obligations, our valuation services bring clarity and confidence to your most critical financial decisions.
Strive Partners provide independent, objective, and defensible valuations of businesses and equity interests. Our valuations are developed in accordance with recognized professional standards (AICPA, NACVA) and tailored to the unique facts, context, and needs of each engagement.
We work closely with business owners, attorneys, and financial professionals to ensure the valuation reflects reality—not just numbers.
Fair Market Value
Fair Market Value (FMV) is one of the most widely recognized and applied valuation standards. It represents the price at which a business or interest would change hands between a willing buyer and seller under no compulsion and with full knowledge of the facts.
We conduct FMV valuations for a variety of purposes, including:
- Gift and estate tax planning
- Shareholder or partner disputes
- Marital dissolution
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Succession planning
- Buy-sell agreements
- Regulatory compliance
Fair Value
Fair Value is often defined by jurisdiction, statute, or accounting standards and is commonly used in legal, financial reporting, and transactional settings. While it frequently incorporates the concepts of FMV, it may exclude certain discounts, especially in shareholder disputes or corporate dissolutions.
Fair Value is often required for:
- Shareholder and partner disputes
- Marital dissolution proceedings
- Buy-sell agreements
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Financial reporting
- Regulatory compliance or statutory requirements
Neutral Financial Expert
In contentious financial matters, opposing parties often benefit from retaining a neutral valuation expert. As a jointly engaged third party, Strive Partners acts as a financial neutral—delivering impartial, fact-based analysis that helps all sides move toward resolution efficiently and constructively.
This service is particularly valuable in:
- Marital dissolution and divorce proceedings
- Shareholder or partnership disputes
- Out-of-court settlements
- Court-directed neutral engagements
Compliance Valuation Services
Businesses are often required to obtain independent valuations to meet tax, accounting, or regulatory standards. At Strive Partners, we conduct valuations designed specifically to meet these compliance needs, ensuring they align with all relevant rules, guidelines, and industry best practices.
Our compliance valuation services include:
- Gift and estate tax valuations
- 409A valuations for deferred compensation
- Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) valuations
- Valuations for reorganizations, conversions, and recapitalizations
- Financial reporting valuations under GAAP or IFRS
- Valuation documentation to support audit readiness
We apply rigorous due diligence, maintain clear documentation, and ensure that each valuation is tailored to the specific regulatory framework—giving our clients peace of mind and confidence during review or audit.
