Business Appraisals – Chicago (IL)
Attorneys and business owners in Chicago and Illinois often require an independent determination of the value of a business. The information can be used by both parties but often for different purposes. A business owner may need this information for transactional purposes, to develop an exit strategy, estate planning, or to obtain financing. An appraisal can offer new insights into the company, the marketplace, and key drivers that may impact overall value. Armed with this information management can implement strategic changes designed to address weaknesses, build upon strengths, and create long term value gains. Attorneys may use the information as part of ongoing litigation, marital disputes, or in other legal proceedings.
