Advising Business Owners On Valuation And Division Of Business Assets

The disposition of ownership and/or value of a business are often contested in the divorce process. There are many factors to consider and questions to address, often pointing to the business’s development and legal status.

The question of how to handle business assets during a divorce can be one of the most challenging aspects of the proceedings. Whether you’re a sole proprietor or a stakeholder in a larger enterprise, these considerations regarding business assets are critical in complex property division cases.

Professional business valuation: Should the business be valued by a professional business evaluator? Engaging a professional to assess the worth of your business can ensure an accurate and fair evaluation.
Inventory appraisal: Is there inventory to value? Determining the value of your inventory is an essential component of the business valuation process.
Business timeline: On what date was the business established or acquired in relation to the date of marriage? The date your business was established or acquired relative to your marriage can influence division decisions.
Legal agreements: Are there any partnership or shareholder agreements? Existing partnership or shareholder agreements may dictate certain terms that need to be honored.
Family involvement: Is the business owned by other family members? When family members are involved in the business, this can add another layer of complexity to the division process. Did your spouse contribute to the operation of the business?
