Highland Global also provides a variety of financial analysis services to its clients including market or industry research and business valuations or appraisals. 

Our market or industry research and financial analysis is usually provided in conjunction with our clients’ corporate growth or exit strategies but may be provided independently for consulting, business planning, forecasting, etc. 

Our business valuations are provided as part of our strategic advisory services but are also prepared on an independent basis for tax purposes, family disputes, capital raising, shareholder issues, or estate planning.

Highland Global seeks to fill the gap in providing strategic advisory and financial analysis services to family owned companies both domestically and internationally, many of which are overlooked by mid/large market advisory firms.  Highland Global’s commitment to assisting family owned businesses with corporate growth and valuation services is further evidenced through the publication of our book The Seven Deadly Sins of Business Valuation:  Closely Held & Family Controlled Companies which was released in mid-2006 and our original book The Seven Deadly Sins of Business Valuation (released in 2005). 

Highland Global has also aligned itself with various professional firms that serve closely held and family owned businesses.  We are pleased to work with FamStrat Advisors (www.famstrat.com) to provide financial analysis and valuation services to family businesses pursuing a liquidity event or assessing transgenerational strategic planning.
