The Importance of Business Valuations for Employee Stock Option Plans

Written by Gauvreau Accounting Tax Law Advisory | Jun 26, 2024

 

When considering employee stock option plans, business valuations play a crucial role. Whether you are bringing on new employees or dealing with existing shareholders who want to execute their share purchase options, an accurate business valuation is essential. This is especially true for sophisticated businesses that require a thorough understanding of their value.

In many cases, an annual business valuation is necessary. However, specific triggering events, such as the execution of an employee stock option purchase, may require a more immediate and detailed valuation. For private companies that are not traded on the stock exchange, establishing the company's value can be complex. This is where the expertise of a chartered business valuator comes in.

A comprehensive business valuation by a business valuator ensures that the value of your private company is accurately determined. This process not only helps in the execution of stock option purchases but also provides a clear picture of the company's financial health and future potential.
