ABSTRACT
Chapter 13 is meant to be a helpful guide for firms seeking to sell their firm or buy other firms. Creating a financial valuation for an architecture firm is unique because they tend to have few assets in comparison with other business types. With this in mind, how does the architect determine how much his/her firm is worth in a merger or acquisition or sale transaction? Key factors for determining value such as backlog, assets, staff, patents, and portfolio, will be discussed.
