What
Is A Valuation?
A business valuation is an appraisal or determination of the value of
a certain asset on a specific date. Hempstead & Co. Inc. performs
business and corporate valuations, securities of publicly or privately
held corporations, partnership interests, professional practices
and intangible business assets such as patents, trademarks and
goodwill. We also provide related financial consulting services,
such as solvency analysis, fairness determination and loss-of-business
damage calculations.
Securing A Quality Valuation
A competent valuation meets two tests. First, it reaches an
accurate value conclusion. Second, it clearly and convincingly
establishes how the conclusion was reached. A good business valuation can be successfully defended and supported under critical scrutiny.
Quality valuations are performed by experienced, capable appraisers.
