Business Valuations Report/Cost Options

The type and cost of a business valuation will depend on your needs, goals, the purpose (e.g., general estimate of value, to support a estate/gift valuation, litigation, etc) and use of the valuation/appraisal (e.g., negotiate a price with a partner, partner dispute, support a tax document).  The best way to determine the right type of business valuation report is to review your situation, needs and goals with BusinessQuest and appropriate legal, accounting and/or financial advisors.

Business valuation and appraisal options (in order of least to most complex, accurate and cost) consist of:

• Broker’s Opinion of Business Value – Our most basic option intended for situations where you just need to get a reasonably estimate of what a business is worth for situations such as long-term exit planning, or if you’re thinking about selling or purchasing a small business. — Low Cost.
• Certified Limited-Scope, Calculation Business Appraisal – A Certified business appraisal but less comprehensive than the full-scope version for situations when you don’t need a full-scope appraisal but still prefer a Certified appraisal that provides reasonably calculation of the value of a business. Examples include Buy/Sell Agreements, M&A transactions, Corporate Business Planning, etc. — Moderate Cost.
• Certified Full-Scope, Summary Business Appraisal – Our most detailed and comprehensive valuation for situations where you need a high degree of accuracy, completeness and confidence that comes with a full-scope evaluation of your business that meets the highest standards of business appraisal reporting. Examples include Estate & Gift Tax Planning/Reporting, Buy/Sell Agreements, M&A Transactions, Litigation, Dispute Resolution, Divorce, and Exit Planning. — Most costly but still significant savings compared to typical accounting or large firm cost.
