409A Valuation
A 409A Valuation is a crucial step for private companies, especially those aiming to offer equity-based compensation to their employees. This valuation process isn’t merely a bureaucratic hurdle, but a stringent requirement stipulated by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 409A to ensure companies adhere to its safe harbor provisions. The primary goal is to issue such compensations at or above fair market value, thus averting hefty tax penalties that could otherwise arise.
