Business valuations are most commonly required in conjunction with the purchase or sale of a business, succession planning, buy/sell agreements, charitable contributions, estate and gift taxes, and initial public offerings. In the litigation arena, valuations are often necessary in situations of business disruption, dissenting shareholder actions, divorce, and partner disputes.

Along with its training and certification programs, NACVA offers a range of support services, marketing tools, software programs, reference materials, and customized databases to enhance the professional capabilities and capacities of its members.
