Why Valuation?

Most business owners know the value of their home and their automobile but have no idea of the value of their business. Some owners rely on simple formulas or multipliers that do not take into consideration many business variables, such as industry trends, better location, longer-term employees, shorter-term receivables, newer equipment, and more.

What is a Business Valuation?
A business valuation, or appraisal, is snapshot of your business to determine fair market value. It is derived from your most recent 3 years financials. It includes general industry information, projected performance based on past financials, overall performance indicators, and post-sale cash flow projections. It includes detailed analysis of your business as it relates to your industry, market place, and similar businesses of your size.

What we offer-
An independent, unbiased, 3rd party valuation by certified appraisers, as required by the SBA and other lenders. A valuation provided by your business broker or CPA is considered to be prejudiced. Your valuation will be performed by experts in valuing privately held businesses. They are professional appraisers whose ONLY business is doing this. They utilize a Fortune-500 valuation process adapted for smaller companies.
