We find value in everything.

While we specialize in healthcare M&A’s, our valuation team handles everything from stock and asset sales to bank loan applications.

Valuation Services

Our valuation experts use industry best practices and real-time data to determine the worth of your healthcare company. Valuation is a crucial step that provides a basis for negotiating the purchase price and terms of a deal.

Types of Valuation

M&A Market Valuation

The M&A Market Valuation uses a market and income approach to estimate the value of a business/practice. First, the market approach uses comparable company data or recent M&A transactions of similar businesses/practices to derive a valuation multiple and apply it to your company’s metrics (e.g., revenue, EBITDA, earnings). Then, the income approach converts anticipated future income or cash flows into a present value using an appropriate discount or capitalization rate.

 

Calculation of Market Value Valuation

A calculation of market value is a limited-scope valuation. This estimated value of a business happens without a full valuation report or comprehensive analysis but does include market approach, income approach and sometimes asset approach.

 

Certified Fair Market Value (FMV) Valuation

A certified fair market value (FMV) valuation is a professionally prepared, comprehensive business valuation report conducted by a certified valuation expert, such as a CVA (Certified Valuation Analyst). This valuation includes market approach, multiple income approaches and sometimes asset approach.

 

Value Building

ValueVertex™ is our proprietary system that helps estimate the value of your healthcare company – and works to increase it. If you're early in the exit process or planning to sell your business in three to five years, now is the time to boost value-building efforts so that you can get the most for your baby when it's time to sell. Our value-building system reviews key areas of your business and recommends changes that will improve its value and sustainability. Put the power of ValueVertexTM and our experienced team to work on your valuation.

In the course of a pivotal change in professional direction, I sought out VERTESS as a consultant to address numerous strategic issues. VERTESS has been a remarkable, trusted advisor, enabling me to effectively move forward with my dreams. I enthusiastically recommend them for anyone who has similar aspirations and who could benefit from encouragement and an innovative approach to their future.

VERTESS' professional acumen is without question, and their vita suggests a shrewd and thoughtful approach to a company’s management, development, and supervision. Decades of experience—coupled with a genuine humanistic approach to business, employees, and clients—made VERTESS the perfect fit to assist in our retooling of current practices. They are sensitive to diverse management styles and personalities, and attempt to guide those they consult using an introspective approach. Both my partner and I use VERTESS' guidance as a personal roadmap for consideration as we decide approaches that best suit our respective styles. SEEK Arizona has gained much in our few months of working with VERTESS as they quickly and effectively targeted areas to improve upon and provided a framework in which to do so. We look forward to maintaining a professional and personal relationship with VERTESS, and would not hesitate to utilize their services as future needs arise. In addition, I enthusiastically recommend VERTESS to any individuals or companies needing an experienced, active consultant to analyze current needs and future opportunities for growth.

I have known the VERTESS team and worked with them in different capacities over the past 30 years. Most recently, they represented our company in a successful asset sale. They were very professional and respected all of our concerns along the way. Although selling a business is difficult, they made it much easier for all of us. Going forward VERTESS is going to set the standard for healthcare mergers and acquisitions.

VERTESS acted as a trouble shooter and temporary manager with extreme confidence and vision. They came into an organization that needed to rebuild and redesign for success. VERTESS laid a business foundation that has allowed me, as the new Director, to move swiftly into a trajectory of success. They are very skilled at making difficult decisions without the emotional over lay that can get in the way of positive solutions. VERTESS inspired a sense of confidence and self-reliance from all constituents that were involved in the program. They continued as a coach and consultant to keep us on target and moving forward. I highly recommend them as an executive coach and organizational consultant. They cut through weeds and let a 1000 flowers bloom.
