About Us
We are CLEAR, ACCURATE, and AFFORDABLE.
Clear
We give you the clarity you need to make decisions with confidence. Most firms deliver reports packed with jargon that only CPAs or attorneys can decipher. Our reports are straightforward, logical, and transparent, so you’ll know exactly how we arrived at the number. That clarity is one reason our valuations have a strong track record of being upheld in court.
Accurate
Every valuation we deliver is grounded in real data, proven methods, and a thorough review process. As an independent third party, we provide unbiased insight into your company’s true worth, never cookie-cutter numbers or industry averages. With decades of experience across a variety of industries, our clients and the courts trust our results.
Affordable
Our clients often pay 30–40% less than at larger firms without sacrificing precision or credibility. You get big-firm expertise with small-firm attention and value. By working virtually through phone and email (with site visits available when needed), we avoid the heavy overhead of larger firms and pass the savings on to you.
Many of our customers will ask one of the following questions:
Can your appraisals stand up in court?
What credentials does your firm have?
Can your appraisals be used for IRS matters?
Can your appraisals be used for SBA funding?
Our appraisals have a strong track record of being consistently upheld in court. We provide business appraisals you can trust and use for a variety of purposes, including IRS matters and SBA funding. We are certified by the NACVA.
For a Legal Matter or For a Court of Law
The ultimate test of a business valuation firm is whether or not their appraisals are credible enough to hold up in court, where both the appraisal and the appraiser will come under extreme scrutiny.
We have done many appraisals that are intended for litigation. The overwhelming majority of cases settle out of court; however, we have had many clients who have gone to court with our appraisal being submitted into evidence. In these cases, we have a very strong track record of our appraisal being upheld.
At times, a Business Appraisals representative is subpoenaed to appear as an expert witness and to testify in defense of the appraisal, especially when the appraisal is a key component of the case. When our clients need an expert witness in addition to the report, the CEO of the company will typically appear as the witness.
We have a very strong track record, in the times we have been admitted as credible expert witness, of the judge accepting our report as the correct value for the company in question.
BUSINESS APPRAISALS HAS A PERFECT IN-COURT RECORD.
Because we have appeared in court many times, we have learned a lot of things about testifying. If you need us to appear in court and testify on the value of your company, we have a package with information which will help you and your lawyer. It will save your lawyer time in preparing your case, which will save you money. Ask us about it, and we can send this package to you when we complete your appraisal.
FOR AN IRS MATTER
Our appraisals have been used for over 100 cases involving the IRS. Of these cases, there has never been an incident, of which we are aware, where the IRS has had an issue with our credibility or our valuation report.
For a Potential Sale / Purchase
Many of our clients are seeking an appraisal because they want to either buy or sell a company. While we do not claim to be the authority on how much our clients should transact for, our reports do offer the best tool for negotiation.
They can also provide leverage. For example, if you are buying a company and the seller is asking too much, you can simply present our appraisal in your negotiation. When you explain that our firm has been in business for 30 years and that our appraisals have held up in court and for the IRS, it will carry a lot of weight and will be a powerful negotiation tool. Over the last 30 years, as we have observed our clients successfully buy or sell a company, we have noticed that in the overwhelming majority of cases, the companies will sell for a value very close to our appraised value. Granted there are some outliers, (and always will be in fair, free-market, economy). But over 90% of the time the sale price ends up being within about 10% of our appraised value.
For Business Funding
If you are seeking funding, most SBA lenders will require you to have a valuation from a credible firm like Business Appraisals. We have done many appraisals for SBA lenders.
Regardless of why you need an appraisal, Business Appraisals has the experience, the reputation and the credibility to give you an accurate appraisal which is clear and easy-to-understand.
