Canada Revenue Agency has a Policy Paper on Business Valuations. Our website has links to this paper and details how we follow it.
It is hard to go wrong when you follow the governing legislation and policy papers.

INTANGIBLE ASSET QUESTIONS - What intangible asset questions should be asked of any business valuator?

WHAT WEIGHT DO INTANGIBLE ASSETS HAVE - Intangible assets are the largest asset group of most businesses. This graph showing the tangible to intangible growth is stunning. More stunning is how the valuation industry has ignored it.

FAIR MARKET VALUE IN VALUATIONS: - The Canada Income Tax Act and the Canada Revenue Agency Policy Paper on Business Valuations demand all asset groups be identified, measured, weighed, and valued.

WHAT IS THE VALUATION PROCESS - Methodology that is logical in understanding the value of all assets in a business.

WHAT BUSINESS EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY: - Business Valuation is about “business” and therefore “business experience” is essential to measuring business assets; especially when intangible assets are such a large component.

WHY DETAILED AND VERIFIED BUSINESS SALE PRICE DATA IS IMPORTANT - Because we can show you how in each case the data often used is incomplete, not verified and no owner or stakeholder input.

AUCTIONEERS AND FAIR MARKET VALUE - Who understands fair market value on hard assets better than an auctioneer.

HAVE CLIENTS AND COURTS BEEN MISLEAD. Yes and we will show you how that changes when the parameters change.

EXPERIENCE GENERATED METHODOLOGY FOR PRIVATE COMPANIES - Our valuations are produced from hands on business experience instead of theory.

THE CONCLUSION - We present the client with the most accurate valuation based on facts and experience not found elsewhere.
