‘Over 80% of small and lower middle market businesses offered for sale do not sell. In many cases, the reason no one will buy these businesses is because their historical financial statements are so poorly prepared that buyers cannot make an intelligent determination of how profitable the business has been or how likely continued profitability will be in the future.’

VALUATION REPORTS

There is a wide range of reasons why a business appraisal may be required or desired and, depending on the purpose of the report, different levels of analysis are appropriate. That said, these different levels of analysis will all arrive at approximately the same indication of what a business is worth. The thing that is different in these different types of reports is the degree of confidence one can place in the value indication. Following are the types of business valuation choices offered by Alliance Business Appraisal.

BROKER'S PRICE OPINION

This is also an uncertified report. This report includes the CMA valuation methods plus one or more additional methods. This is the ideal report for a business owner or prospective business buyer to obtain an independent professional opinion of approximately how much to ask or offer for a small business on the market for sale or about to be placed on the market for sale.

CERTIFIED CALCULATION OF VALUATION

This is a certified business valuation report. This is a reasonably appropriate report to assist parties in negotiating an out of court agreement on a business’s fair market value pursuant to a divorce or under other potentially contentious circumstances. This is also generally a reasonable report to employ in assisting parties in negotiating the actual selling price of business’s with probable selling prices in the one million dollar territory or higher This report is limited in scope because it excludes some elements of a Conclusion of Value report.

Certified Conclusion Of Value

This is the highest level for a business valuation report. A conclusion of value report must conform with business valuations standards as promulgated by either the American Institution of Certified Public Accountants, or the Institute of Business Appraisers, or the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts, or the American Society of Appraisers, or The Appraisal Foundation’s Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. This is the appropriate report when a contentious dispute over a business’s fair market value is expected to be litigated in court and for reports submitted to the IRS to accompany estate or gift tax returns.

"My name is Josh Himan. I just read Pricing a Small Business for Sale which I purchased through ValuSource. By far the best book I have ever read on connecting the dots between the Selling price and Selling Proceeds! It filled a large gap for me that I have been searching years for! I mostly work in acquisitions so I needed something practical and not just theoretical fair market value. I would say to my clients that the balance sheet makes the deal, but you did an amazing job of displaying it through your models! Very glad you shared your wisdom and I have your other books on order as we speak"
