The Right Appraisal, the Right Appraiser

About the Episode

Believe it or not, a business appraisal may not always be necessary to sell your company; however, you may need one for any number of other reasons such as in the case of a divorce settlement, buying out a partner, or simply for a tax-related reason among many others. In any case, the type of appraisal you receive and the company performing that appraisal need to be right for the specific task at hand. Why is that important? Our guest will tell you. Ryan Kinahan is the owner and Managing Director of RK Valuation Advisory LLC. His thoughts and guidance may help you avoid leaving money on the table and/or spending too much on the wrong thing.
