A business valuation expert looks at far more than a single number. We apply income, market, and asset based approaches and prepare lender ready reports that meet SBA and conventional financing standards, with defensible documentation for litigation, disputes, and estate planning. Without a professional business valuation, you negotiate from uncertainty, either underpricing your equity or overpaying for an acquisition target.
Business valuation services determine what a company is worth for a specific purpose. At Accu Financials, we prepare formal valuation reports using income, market, and asset based methods, structured around your situation, your ownership type, and how the valuation will be used.
The cost depends on the purpose of the valuation, the size and complexity of the business, the standard of value, and who will rely on the report, such as a lender, a court, or the IRS. We scope each engagement on a call first, then quote based on your specific situation.
Owners usually need one when they’re seeking financing, preparing to sell or buy a business, resolving a shareholder dispute, or planning for ESOP, gifting, or estate purposes. Having a documented, defensible number before those decisions are made keeps you from negotiating blind.
Yes. We prepare formal valuation reports built to meet SBA 7(a) and conventional lender requirements. Whether to lend is still the lender’s decision, but you’ll go in with a report built to their standards.
We choose from three approaches based on the company and the purpose: income approach modeling, which includes DCF and capitalized earnings; market approach benchmarking against comparable transactions; and asset based valuation for holding and asset heavy companies. Our small business valuation packages are designed for owner operated and closely held companies.
Look for a firm that tailors the engagement to your purpose and audience, since a report for a lender, a buyer, and a court each has different requirements. At Accu Financials, we set the purpose and standard of value up front, so the report holds up wherever it is presented.
