The
Age Old Question ...
What is My Business Worth?
We Have The Answer!
       
Paragon Ventures offers market valuations of
healthcare business that are
completely objective, independent
and professional. Our valuation
of a closely-held business combines financial,
operational and economic analyses into a relevant and
quantifiable representation of the Real Value® of the
business enterprise.
The Paragon Ventures valuation process translates complex business
valuation theory and terminology into a clear and
understandable appraisal of the Real Value of your business
based upon current market conditions and completed
transactions of similar companies within the past 24 months.
As a leading market-maker in the healthcare industry and
with specific healthcare transaction experience, Paragon
uses deal specific data to prepare our valuations.
Our valuation process incorporates
financial analysis, current transaction comparables and our
proprietary Market Pulse® real-time market assessment.
Upon completion of our analysis, we will formulate our
opinion based on appropriate comparable transactions and
current market dynamics to provide you with a written
valuation report.
Paragon Ventures' valuation report will
provide you with the current range of market value and the
basis for our valuation. We will also highlight and discuss
with you those areas of the business that are either
contributing to or detracting from the valuation.
The valuation will provide you with the information you need to
quietly assess the current market potential of the company and gauge how your
bottom-line results and current strategic direction is valued in the current
market environment. Many healthcare business owners use our barometer of the
company’s value to help with the timing and preparation for a possible merger,
acquisition or sale.
Your business could be worth far more... or less... than you
expect, find out the current market valuation of your
business.

Comprehensive Client Analysis
After executing a confidentiality agreement we begin
by gathering specific data on the company. The client completes an in-depth questionnaire
to provide information on company's financials, personnel, business and marketing plans.

Market Research
We perform extensive market research and updates on
specific industry trends and forecasts, economic conditions, M&A activity,
and competitors to establish industry-specific historical growth,
performance ratios and projected growth, as well as pro forma credibility.

Recasting
We recast the current year-to-date and prior year end
financials in our adjusted income statement (AIS). The AIS
reflects the business as if it were a wholly owned subsidiary of a larger
company. Recasting includes removing owner compensation, non-recurring and phantom expenses
or extraordinary items which private companies often use for tax benefits.

Pro Forma
We develop forecasts of income and cash flow
statements in our AIS format. We premise our findings on new owners with the financial and
organizational resources to support projected growth.

Sell Now?
At this juncture, we review the short- and long-term
benefits of client options, as well as the personal, financial and
investment objectives.
If the time is
right for you, your business and the market, we move forward with the
marketing process. If not, we continue to be your eyes and ears to
the M&A marketplace. We stay in touch and compare notes related to the
company and the current market until we identify the right time to make a
move.
Should a client decide not to sell immediately, we
keep the valuation updated periodically, recognizing circumstances may
change. At any point , the client may reconsider and move forward with the
company's sale.

Periodic Review

If a client decides not to proceed to market
immediately, we agree to update the valuation analysis periodically
following its completion and will take the client to market if they so
decide, when the time is right for them. This allows our clients to continue
to make informed decisions about selling well into the future.
