When the number has to hold up — to a buyer, a lender, the IRS, or a court — you need a valuation built to professional standards, not a back-of-the-envelope estimate. We deliver accredited-quality business valuations across all 50 states.
Valuation Engagements
A Certified Valuation Analyst applies recognized professional standards (income, market, and asset approaches) to produce a defensible opinion of value. Here are the engagements business owners most often need.
Know your number before you go to market. We benchmark your adjusted EBITDA against real comparable transactions so you negotiate from data, not hope.
An independent, defensible value that protects both sides when a partner joins or leaves — the single most common source of owner disputes.
Lender-ready reports that meet SBA 7(a) and acquisition-financing requirements so your deal doesn’t stall in underwriting.
Clear, supportable valuations for divorce, shareholder disputes, and economic-damage matters — written to withstand scrutiny.
IRS-compliant valuations for estate settlement, gifting, and succession planning, with the documentation the IRS expects.
Valuations supporting employee ownership plans, stock grants, and 409A-style equity compensation decisions.
Standards
Anyone can quote a multiple. A professionally prepared valuation documents the methodology, assumptions, and comparables — which is exactly what makes it defensible to third parties.
We reconcile income (DCF), market (comparable transactions), and asset approaches rather than relying on a single shortcut — the standard credentialed analysts follow.
We adjust your financials for owner compensation, one-time items, and discretionary expenses to reveal true earning power — the number buyers actually price.
Every multiple we apply is supported by real transaction data in your industry, not a rule of thumb, so the conclusion survives due diligence.
You receive a formal, narrative valuation report — the document lenders, courts, and the IRS require, not just a spreadsheet.
