Three ways we test the range
Income approach
Normalize earnings and translate the company's risk profile into a practical value range.
Used when earnings, owner replacement pay, and capital needs are supported by the records.Market approach
Compare the company with reliable industry multiples and transaction evidence where available.
Published benchmarks provide context, not proof of what one company will sell for.Assets and working capital
Review debt, equipment, inventory, deposits, working capital, and owner-specific items that can change the deal value.
Used when the balance sheet and adjustment schedules are complete enough to support it.What we need from you
Financial core
Three years of profit-and-loss statements where available, the current balance sheet, and a clear period basis.
Earnings quality
Owner compensation, replacement salary, proposed add-backs, nonrecurring items, normalized capital spending, and supporting notes.
Revenue and operating risk
Revenue mix, recurring share, customer concentration, retention, management depth, and owner-dependence context.
Deal and equity context
Cash, debt, working-capital target, timing, buyer path, financing context, recent offers, and known constraints.
Useful before a process becomes expensive
- Considering a sale in the next 6-24 months
- Partner buyout or ownership transition planning
- Understanding value before talking with brokers or buyers
- Preparing for lender, investor, or acquisition conversations
- Identifying the levers that could improve value before a process
When you need a certified appraisal
- Not a certified appraisal for tax, court, estate, divorce, SBA, or financial reporting
- The range depends on the records provided and current market conditions
Questions before you order
Is this a certified appraisal?
No. It is a business valuation report. Tax, litigation, estate, divorce, SBA, fairness-opinion, and financial-reporting uses require separately scoped qualified providers.
What happens when the books are incomplete?
We identify missing or conflicting records and ask for what is needed before finalizing the range.
Do I need a sales call to begin?
No. Send the valuation question and we will confirm the scope, send the payment link, and open the document intake.
Is the selected value guaranteed?
No. The report gives a range based on the records and current market evidence. A buyer, lender, partner, or transaction process may reach a different result.

Ask about company-specific valuation work
Use this when the fixed brief is not enough and the decision needs a separately scoped project around actual financials, normalization, buyer questions, and transaction context.
