Key Terms You Should Know
ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan)
A retirement plan that gives employees ownership in the company. ESOP valuations ensure the stock is priced fairly and meets IRS and Department of Labor compliance standards.
Purchase Price Allocation (PPA)
When a company is bought, the purchase price must be divided among the assets (like equipment, inventory, or patents) and liabilities. A PPA valuation ensures this accounting is accurate and accepted by auditors.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill represents intangible assets like brand reputation, customer loyalty, and relationships. A goodwill impairment test checks if these assets are still worth what’s on the books — or if they need to be adjusted downward.
Fractional Interest Valuation
Determines the fair value of a partial ownership stake in a business or property. Often used for estate planning, shareholder buyouts, or gifting business interests.
Value Gap
The difference between what your company is worth today and what it could be worth if improvements are made. Closing this gap creates significant upside when you raise capital, transfer ownership, or sell.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
A valuation method that estimates the present value of your company based on expected future cash flows. It’s one of the most reliable ways to measure true earning power.
Q-Score™
A proprietary scoring system based on six drivers of value: strategic, organizational, employee, customer, financial, and governance. A higher Q-Score means lower risk and higher business value.
Exit Readiness
A measure of how well-prepared your business is for succession, sale, or transfer. Exit readiness valuations highlight the actions needed to maximize value before transition.
Intangible Assets
Non-physical assets such as intellectual property, trademarks, brand reputation, or proprietary technology. Intangible assets often represent a large part of a company’s value.
