Business Valuation Questions

How much does a business valuation cost?

The cost of a professional business valuation varies based on the complexity of the business, the purpose of the valuation, and the methodologies used. For Main Street businesses ($1M–$25M in revenue), valuations typically range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands. The investment pays for itself many times over by ensuring you price your business correctly and avoid leaving money on the table.

What methods are used to value a small business?

Professional valuations use multiple approaches: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis projects future earnings; comparable transaction analysis benchmarks against similar sales; and asset-based approaches value tangible and intangible assets. A robust valuation combines all three for a defensible range rather than a single number.

How long does a business valuation take?

A comprehensive business valuation typically takes 2–4 weeks from engagement to delivery. This includes financial data collection, analysis, market research, and report preparation. Rush timelines are possible but may limit the depth of comparable analysis.
