What we value
Specialists in the businesses we know best.
Why you need one
The purpose shapes the report.
Fair market value, fair value and investment value are different standards. We confirm the purpose first, then scope the analysis to fit it.
SBA & bank lending
Independent valuations that meet lender and SBA requirements for change-of-ownership loans.
Buying or selling
Set a defensible asking price, or test a seller's numbers before you commit.
Partner buyouts
Fair value under your buy-sell or operating agreement, so both sides can move on.
Estate & gift tax
Reports for transfers to the next generation, including minority and marketability discounts.
Divorce & litigation
Well-documented analysis for divorce, partnership disputes and insurance claims.
Succession planning
Understand your value and its drivers years before you pass the business on.
Property tax appeals
Separate taxable real estate from intangible business value.
Purchase-price allocation
Allocate a purchase price between real property, equipment and goodwill.
Our standards
What you can expect from every engagement.
Independent
We don't broker deals or take a percentage of a sale. Our fee is the same whatever the number.
Fixed and upfront
A written proposal with scope, timeline and a fixed fee before any work begins.
Documented
Every adjustment, assumption and comparable is shown, so anyone can follow the reasoning.
Explained
We walk you through the report and answer every question: yours, your lender's or your attorney's.
