Frequently Asked Questions About Business Valuations

How do I go about getting a business valuation?
We start with a short scoping call to understand your needs, provide you with a document checklist, then perform our analysis and deliver a draft report for your review. The entire process typically takes 4 weeks depending on the complexity and document availability.
What does a business valuation cost?
Fees depend on the purpose of the engagement, the size and complexity of the business, and the type of report required. We provide a fixed-fee quote after our initial scoping call, so there are no surprises once we begin. We’re happy to discuss budget expectations before any commitment.
What makes you qualified to do business valuations?
Our partners hold the credentials that matter in this field: CFA, ASA, and ABV. Between us we bring decades of experience across transactions, estate and gift tax planning, shareholder matters, and court-appointed divorce engagements — and our reports are written to be understood by the people who need to rely on them.
