Business Valuation:

In some marriages, one or both of the parties may own or be part owners of a business. A business is an asset subject to equitable distribution like any other asset in a divorce, but unlike other assets, businesses involve more complex issues when it comes to determining the value of the business and the options as to how to distribute or divide the equity in the business.

Marital or Non-Marital:

One of the first steps involves a determination as to whether the business is a marital or non-marital asset or a partial marital asset. In some cases, there are other parties outside of the marriage who may also have ownership interests in the business which need also to be considered.

Value of the Business:

A financial evaluation will need to be done in some cases to determine the actual value of the business. In conducting the financial evaluation, there are a number of factors that need to be considered in regards to the value of a business including but not limited to:

1) The value as an ongoing operating business enterprise, and
2) The value when the business is terminated.
