SBRI utilizes the most current certified business appraisal techniques. Because we are active in merger & acquisition representations, SBRI appraisals move beyond IRS approved valuation methods and include current market data to more accurately reflect a true fair market value.

Southbridge performs business valuations for divestiture, ESOP, estate planning, tax planning, business planning (employee transactions-shareholder buyouts – other) / financing, stock acquisition, and other processes to include litigation. The Company also performs independent appraisals of fair market value for acquisition entities. SBRI appraisals are performed by a certified appraiser.

As a potential buyer or seller of a company accurate value information is needed before making a serious and expensive commitment to buy or sell a business.

Southbridge performs the following business valuation processes in an appraisal:

• An analysis of the business and its operations, products or services offered, current industry position
  
• A spreadsheet recast of the last three years profit and loss statements to discretionary cash flow or EBITDA for better understanding of available funds and potential allocation in an acquisition approach
  
• Recast of current balance sheet to reflect fair market value of assets

Usage of six to eight IRS approved valuation methodologies plus current market comparisons for a more accurate fair market value

• Develop a detailed valuation report that includes:
  Complete company summary and overview – industry information – financial history – business forecast – recast profit & loss and balance sheet – valuation and support of value
