Seacap has been providing clients with expert valuation services for nearly 20 years. The Seacap approach blends traditional valuation methodology with market-tested experience to produce practical appraisal conclusions. Business appraisals can be required for a variety of reasons including:

• Purchase or sale event
• Shareholder exit planning
• Buy-sell agreements
• Recapitalization
• Partnership formation and dissolution
• Estate Planning

A company’s value is best determined by using multiple appraisal methods, which are taken from three basic valuation approaches:

• Asset Approach – Involves a value analysis of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities.
• Market Approach – Focuses on the development of valuation metrics through an analysis of purchase-and-sale transactions involving other comparable companies.
• Income Approach – Produces an estimate of a company’s value through analyses of the subject’s earning capacity. Methods involve a capitalization of the subject company’s earnings stream, or a present value derived from discounting projected future earnings.
