Valuations

To assist you in determining best strategic options for your Company, Whitehaven provides fair market valuations. (Fair market value is defined as the amount that reflects what the business would be valued in a sale between a buyer and seller who both have full knowledge of the facts and are under no duress). Our unique approach uses our proprietary ValGuard© diagnostic process which analyzes all specific industry metrics to ensure all your Company’s key intangible assets and attributes are fully recognized and valued in addition to tangible assets. The resulting FMV also identifies your Company’s strengths and weaknesses to help you identify and assess future planning needs and options.

Debt and Equity Sourcing

Debt Re-financing. Whitehaven evaluates your Company’s projected business needs, existing accounts receivables, cash flows and current banking agreements to determine debt service capacity for improving borrowing terms with an existing lender or alternatively, finding a new lender under more favorable terms.

Sourcing areas include; commercial bank loans, recapitalizations, re-financings and mezzanine or subordinated debt.
