Class Description

Buy-sell agreements are drafted by attorneys who incorporate important legal provisions.  \;Yet without your guidance\, these agreements make assumptions about the terms of the valuation process.

In this session\, we will cover why phrases like &ldquo\;Fair Market Value&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Book Value&rdquo\; are not sufficient direction to a business appraiser\, and why formulas don&rsquo\;t work. We will also share a matrix developed by Capital Valuation Group for determining the intent of the owners under all triggering events. By documenting your intent when you aren&rsquo\;t in crisis allows you and your business partner(s) to clarify your intent and avoid frustration\, arguments\, and potential litigation.
