· Your attorney or accountant may have said: “You need to hire a business appraiser”

                    · You are in the middle of a divorce and your spouse's attorney sends over a two page
                      letter which reports that your coffee shop is worth $ 2 million and requests half of that
                      amount.

                    · The real estate appraiser who just delivered an appraisal to you reminds you that their
                      appraisal is solely limited to the real estate and does not take into consideration the
                      value of any furniture, fixtures, goodwill or any intangible value related to the business.

                    · You have an extremely successful, twenty year old business and don’t know if the offer
                      that an investor group has made for the business is satisfactory.

                    · The IRS or State has just sent you a bill for several hundred thousand dollars for estate
                      taxes due on the business that you and your parent operated before they died.  Not only
                      do you not have the money to pay for this but you cannot imagine in your wildest dreams
                      ever being able to sell the business for the amount that the IRS/State has based the
                      taxes on.

                    · You have a minority interest in a small business and the majority owner(s) has/have
                      moved the business, re-located the business bank accounts and told you that what you
                      have is worthless and that they’ll send you a small check to cover your stake after you
                      agree to transfer that interest to them.

                    · You have been to an Entrepreneurs convention and are excited about several of the new
                      franchise opportunities that were offered to you.  You wonder, are they worth all the
                      money that they cost?

                    · Your small to medium sized business is growing at a rapid pace and you are ready to
                      take it to the next level.  Your current financial advisors who have helped you to date are
                      not fully qualified to assist you at this point and you require the services of a business
                      appraiser or business appraisal company who can help you reach your lofty goals.
