HDH provides financial advisory and business valuation consulting services in connection with employee stockownership plans (“ESOPs”). We are engaged by independent ESOP trustees to consult on the initial ESOP installation and purchase of company securities, as well as the termination of an ESOP plan or sale of ESOP sponsored stock. Each of these engagements may require a feasibility study, business valuation, and fairness opinion. In addition, we provide annual fair market valuations for ESOP administration and ERISA and tax purposes. We have consulted ESOP owned companies in a variety of industries including (but not limited to) architectural and engineering, manufacturing, distribution, staffing and recruiting, construction and contracting, environmental consulting, retail, and information technology.

Agencies such as the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) require an independent business appraisal when guaranteeing a loan. These business valuations must be conducted by a qualified appraiser and follow standard SBA operating procedures. HDH has prepared numerous appraisals in these settings. We can provide your bank with an independent valuation of a company or other identifiable intangible business assets to satisfy due diligence requirements necessary for financing. We understand the time-sensitive nature of obtaining financing and have trained professionals that can prepare appraisals than meet standards, in the time frames requested at efficient pricing.
