Depletion of Business Profits and Assets During Separation and Divorce Proceedings – Would it Have Happened Anyway?
This article is written from the perspective of the business valuation expert. We often see business profits and assets deplete over the period of separation and during divorce proceedings. The question is to what extent this can/could have been controlled by the business owner (and usually shareholder/director in owner-managed businesses) and what was due to circumstances outside their control. Would the depletion of assets and profits have happened anyway if not for the divorce?

Mltpl: A New Business Valuation Tool
Business valuations are often associated with high costs, long delays and, in many instances, subjective analysis and unsupported conclusions. Inevitably, questions arise as to their utility, given their inherent fragility.
