Business Valuation Services for Liquidation or Reorganization

A liquidation or reorganization of a corporation often requires a professional business valuation.  The valuation may be needed when there is a debtor in possession, if there are secured creditor claims, or when there is a plan of reorganization.  Arxis Financial provides business valuation expertise in such situations to determine the fair market value of the business, the value of an ownership interest, and the change in value over a specified period of time.

A bankruptcy requires a knowledgeable and experienced valuation specialist.  The valuation needs to consider factors such as the affect of proposed capital structures and the impact of assumptions such as going-concern or orderly liquidation.  The specialists in Arxis Financial’s “Business Valuation” practice provide clients with a comprehensible valuation that carefully considers such critical factors in the bankruptcy context.  We also have extensive experience in presenting and defending our findings in litigation proceedings.

The Business Valuation practice is headed by partner Chris L. Hamilton, CPA, CFE, CVA, DABFA.
