Fairness Opinions and Valuations
LockeBridge’s ability to accurately estimate the value of a company is a critical component of our unique business model. Accurate valuations combined with superior execution enable us to waive the need for upfront retainer fees.
Valuations and fairness opinions are a routine part of the mergers and acquisitions process. However, there are several other reasons for performing a business valuation including initial public offerings, corporate sales & divestitures, obtaining financing, stock options and ESOP plans, liquidation & insolvency analyses, shareholder redemptions, succession planning, and joint venture agreements.
