Business valuation is fundamentally a consulting service where growth requires leverage. Small shops battle to get that leverage. Now, they have a new weapon.
Nearly every small shop leader will tell you they could capture more business with reliable production capacity. Their predicament is understandable. There always has been—and always will be—a talent shortage in BV. Competing for that talent from a small shop platform can feel discouraging.
Business valuation occurs everywhere, so successful smaller shops are scattered in smaller markets and out-of-the-way places. Lovely places to live. Just not attractive to the talent that’s needed.
Business Valuation is a business of judgment. That judgment kicks in around the thirty-to-thirty-six-month mark, making employees more valuable and susceptible to pay increases the small shop can’t manage.
Assurent Advisors is a new option for small shop leaders who want leverage and need it on their own terms. Workflow can be lumpy, so flexibility is vital. Assurent can deliver as few as five to ten hours a week or be available on a project-by-project basis.
Product quality is high enough that reviewers become more efficient, partly because they come to it with fresh eyes.
If someone is in place as a potential successor, leverage from Assurent can relieve them of the grunt work they’d rather not do and get them up the ladder more quickly.
