A standard business valuation estimates your company's worth, but a Lender PreQualified Business Valuation goes a step further. It includes prequalification with three lenders. This means you're not just getting a number, you're getting insight into what banks are willing to finance, making your valuation even more actionable.

Because buyers rarely pay all cash. Most need financing. When your business is already prequalified with lenders, it removes a major hurdle in the sale process, helping you attract serious buyers and close transactions faster.

No valuation can guarantee a final sale price, but ours gives you a lender-backed benchmark, which is often the most realistic reflection of the market value. This means you'll know what banks are comfortable financing, which significantly impacts how much buyers can pay.

Lenders assess factors like cash flow, profitability, industry risk, and operational stability. Our valuation process identifies these key financial indicators, giving you a clear picture of how lenders view your business before you even engage a buyer or investor.

That's valuable insight, too! If your business isn't currently prequalified, we'll provide guidance on what changes can improve your eligibility, so you can take steps now to increase your business's financeable value.

No! A Lender PreQualified Business Valuation is just as powerful for buyouts, mergers, financing, succession planning, and even securing buy/sell insurance. Knowing your business's financeable value opens doors to multiple opportunities.

Typically 10-15 business days, depending on the complexity of your business. We work efficiently to provide a thorough, lender-backed valuation you can rely on.

While our valuations meet professional standards, if you need a report for IRS filings, estate settlements, or court proceedings, you may require a formal certified valuation. We can help determine which option best fits your needs.

Absolutely. Smart business owners track their company's value regularly to make informed decisions. Whether you plan to sell in a year or five, knowing your financeable market value now helps you strategize for maximum return later.

Pricing depends on the complexity of your business, but compared to the cost of uncertainty, loss of transactions, or undervaluing your business, it's an investment that pays for itself. Click here for more information.

We'll need basic financial statements (profit & loss, balance sheet, tax returns), business details, and any relevant agreements or contracts. Don't worry, we'll guide you through it step by step!

A broker’s estimate is an informal ballpark figure, often based on industry averages and past deals. A professional valuation is a comprehensive, data-driven analysis that considers financial performance, market trends, risk factors, and lender requirements. It results in a defensible, well-documented valuation that stands up to buyer scrutiny and supports negotiations.

Your CPA focuses on taxes and financial reporting, whereas a business valuation requires specialized expertise in market trends, deal structures, and buyer behavior. A certified valuation professional applies multiple valuation methodologies to ensure your business’s worth is accurate, market-supported, and financeable—something a CPA’s tax-based financials don’t account for.

Online calculators provide general estimates based on limited data, often missing key financial and industry-specific details.
