The main purpose of a business appraisal is to establish what a company is worth in the current marketplace. It looks at the business in its present form and works out what it could sell for in the current climate.

Getting a business appraisal does not necessarily mean that a busines owner wants to sell. There are different instances where a valuation is needed for a company, such as making a public offering on another business or when entering into a merger. These transactions require full appraisals of the businesses involved before any deals can be undertaken.

To give you an idea of when this applies, here are the instances where the question about the worth of a company is of essential importance:

The evaluation of operations or assets for courts, tax authorities, regulatory agencies, shareholders or enterprises
Independent assessments for the sake of determining conversion ratios or compensations within the scope of a reorganisation
Valuations in the context of intragroup transactions for tax authorities.
