      <title>5 Steps to Making Smart Money Moves</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This week we'll discuss how to choose between debt and equity for business growth.

We'll also highlight the importance of considering the exit strategy, as debt has a set end date, while equity can be indefinite.

      <title>Is a Business Valuation an Art or Science?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Welcome to 2023!
This week's episode I will be discussing the different factors of the art and science that impact a conclusion of value in a report.
Although its not your ideal piece of "art" the technique and experience is what I consider to be art in a valuation.
﻿Even though we aren't mixing chemicals business valuations has its own science which would be the professional standards and the recognized text books that interpret those standards.

      <title>Why does it take so long to value a company?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered why a business valuation takes so long?
On this week’s episode I discuss the high level issues on why a biz val is so time consuming. Two major areas that expands the length of time, they are professional standards and the clients records. The condition of the client’s records is one of the primary drivers of the time and cost. Tune into this week’s episode to learn more on this and stick around for the next one where I break down the cost of business valuation.

      <description><![CDATA[Welcome to another episode of Litigation Speaks!
