Why is a land valuation necessary for businesses?

Land valuations are extremely extensive and do not just focus on the physical land around your business. In fact it is more about determining what your property as an overall is worth, this will include the areas of your property that have no current buildings on. Once you know what your property is worth as a whole, you can begin to increase the productivity of your business. If you are fortunate to have property with vacant land, you can sell off that land at a profit and put money back into your business.
