Ownership Transfers

The valuation of a professional design firm is a critical first step in embarking on a plan for internal ownership transition.  A proper valuation of the firm should result in fair price to a seller of shares within a professional practice, while, at the same time, providing the purchasing individuals with an affordable opportunity to acquire ownership.  Professional service firms are unique when compared to other business enterprises as to the elements that determine value.  The strength of a firm’s personnel, management team, client concentration, industry specialties, marketing, backlog and a host of other factors require both an expertise in the industry as well as a thorough analysis of a firm to determine the proper value for purposes of internal ownership transition.
