Corporate Valuation
& Strategic Business Assessment

At McEntire Advisory, we provide corporate valuation services grounded in industry experience, certified methodologies, and the specific needs of each case.

Accurate, defensible business valuations are essential to informed decision-making, especially in high-stakes legal, financial, or ownership scenarios. Whether you’re facing a dispute, navigating an acquisition, or preparing for estate planning, our corporate valuation team delivers clear, credible answers that stand up to scrutiny and support long-term strategy.

What is Corporate Valuation?

Corporate valuation is the process of determining the economic value of a business or ownership interest. It requires more than formulas — it demands a deep understanding of financials, markets, operations, and legal context. We use widely accepted methodologies, including income, market, and asset-based approaches, tailored to the purpose of the valuation and the characteristics of the company.

Our valuations are used in a range of situations, including litigation, transactions, compliance, and internal planning. No matter the context, our goal is to provide a reliable, transparent view of value.

Business Valuation Services Built for Complexity

We don’t do one-size-fits-all appraisals. Our business valuation services are built to handle the nuance and complexity of real-world decisions.

We regularly support:

Disputes between partners, shareholders, or family members
Divorce proceedings requiring the allocation of business interests
Estate and gift tax valuations
Buyouts, mergers, and acquisitions involving small and mid-sized businesses
Purchase and sale agreements requiring a third-party opinion of value
Exit planning and succession strategies for closely held businesses

Our team is often brought in as neutral third-party experts or as strategic partners for attorneys, business owners, or financial professionals needing objective insight.

Certified and Experienced Professionals

Our valuations are led by professionals with advanced certifications and years of experience across industries. As certified valuation analysts, we bring both technical proficiency and contextual judgment to every engagement.

We are known for:

In short: our clients count on us when accuracy and credibility are essential.

We also understand that valuation isn’t always the final word; it’s often the beginning of a larger decision. That’s why we remain available to discuss results, explain methodology, and support clients through whatever comes next, from legal reviews to board presentations.

Corporate Valuation in Transactions

In the context of purchase and sale agreements, corporate valuation plays a critical role in determining fair deal terms and managing risk. Buyers must have confidence in the value of the business they are acquiring, while sellers require assurance their interests are accurately represented. Advisors, in turn, depend on clear, well-substantiated valuations to facilitate negotiations and structure agreements.

We support clients throughout the deal process by:

Delivering valuation reports that stand up to due diligence
Advising on valuation implications for buy-sell terms
Providing insight into goodwill, synergies, and intangible asset value
Offering consulting around earn-outs, equity structuring, and performance benchmarks

Whether you’re preparing for a formal sale or updating valuations for internal planning, our business valuation services help keep your strategy aligned with market realities.

Corporate Valuation in Litigation and Compliance

We are frequently engaged in litigation involving business ownership, economic damages, and financial disputes. In these situations, a robust and well-supported corporate valuation can help frame legal arguments, support claims, and guide settlement decisions.

In addition to litigation, we also support valuation needs tied to:

IRS and SBA compliance
Buy-sell agreement triggers
Gifting and estate tax filings
Capital raises and investor reporting

We understand the documentation requirements and communication style needed in each of these areas, and we tailor our reports accordingly.
