Two interesting valuation areas are the focus of upcoming webinars:

Valuing Ambulatory Surgery Centers (March 25), featuring Todd Sorensen and Kevin McDonough (both VMG Health). Join Sorensen and McDonough for a look at how major ongoing healthcare consolidation trends are creating opportunity and peril for appraisers valuing ambulatory surgery centers. From considerations of Stark and AKS to fraud and compliance issues, this program, Part 3 of BVR’s Online Symposium on Healthcare Valuation, will cover what every appraiser needs to know.

Valuing Franchises (March 27), featuring Theresa Zeidler-Shonat and Bill Pellino (both Smith & Gesteland). As of 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 10% of businesses in the United States were either franchisee or franchiser-owned. Learn how the breadth and variety of franchise agreements affect business operations, performance, and ultimately value and how to account for these factors in the appraisal process.
