Every business owner must, at some time, consider the question, "What is my business worth?"

Common uses for a business valuation are:

1.	Buying or selling a business
2.	Succession planning
3.	Stockholder or partner agreements
4.	Gift and estate tax planning (Rules of Adequate Disclosure)
5.	Shareholder or partnership disputes
6.	Acquisition allocations
7.	Goodwill impairment testing
8.	Mergers
9.	Divorce matters
