Business Valuation Services
Few things are more important to business owners than the value of their business.
What is your business worth?
Whether you’re negotiating a sale, a merger, considering new shareholders, attempting to resolve disputes associated with liability, shareholder equity, estate planning, or marital dissolution, objective valuation can make the difference between loss or gain, success, or failure.
Not knowing what your business is worth can result in incorrect decisions.
One young businessperson started a business and was struggling to make ends meet after two years in the business. He thought he might make more as an employee. His viewpoint shifted when he found out his business was worth $200,000.
Another businessperson had a dotcom, before the bubble burst back around 2001. He was having trouble-making payroll. He was thinking of selling 1/3 of his company for a couple hundred thousand dollars. He had a consultant review his business who said “It may be a hassle meeting your payroll, but don’t sell for that.” Six months later, this dotcom sold for $10,000,000.

There is a purpose of business valuation that is often overlooked. Suppose you are starting out or have a small business. Making a profit is of course a major goal and is a monitoring factor in all business decisions. You do not want to make decisions that lose money!
But there are businesses that were worth billions of dollars before they made a profit.
Have you ever wondered how your business is valued?
Or, even better, what can you do to increase the value of my business?
Of course, profit is important in valuing a business. You should monitor it closely. Proper bookkeeping and accounting are important here. If your accounting is very good, and you review your accountant’s work regularly, you can probably get an exterior view of what makes your business make money. Many businesspeople work like mad for years without ever sitting back and looking at their actual profit.
Often business owners are working like mad in the trenches making income and delivering product, and are too busy to do their books or look at trends.
Now, if you have proper bookkeeping and accounting, you can look at your profit and loss for small and large periods of time.

Amendments
Sometimes, there may be a situation where a tax return could be amended, but it is too late to receive any benefit. Or maybe you made an error that was missed by the IRS that would have increased your tax liability. In some cases, it is prudent to file an amended return. But if it is not necessary and will not save you any money or decrease your risk, we will tell you not to bother. It is silly to amend a return to no advantage which is too old for the IRS to audit. Some firms might file a bunch of unnecessary tax returns and charge a fee. Sometimes a taxpayer himself might increase his tax liability by filing an unnecessary amendment that increases his tax liability. We will not do this.
Amending a tax return requires more professional acumen then doing it right in the first place. At Torchlight Tax, we do file the tax return correctly the first time. And we will happily amend your tax return, but only if it actually is to your benefit. If you think you might need to amend tax returns, contact Torchlight Tax for a free consultation.
