Determining the value of a business isn’t as simple as just looking at how much it is worth. In the case of a business, you also have to take the business debts and liabilities into account. Loans taken out to finance the business have to be considered. The structure of the business also has to be considered.

In most cases, the assessments and valuations of these businesses, as well as retirement accounts, real estate holdings and investments, will have to be done by professionals. You should hire your own professionals, and we can help you with that. Your ex might also hire people, and your people might not agree with the people your ex hires.
