Business Valuation ServicesA valuation that ends the argument.

Company valuations using DCF, comparable companies, precedent transactions and asset-based methods. For fundraising, M&A, buy/sell decisions and strategic planning. The kind of valuation an investor, a buyer, or a counter-party doesn't push back on twice.

Send your current valuation or model. I reply inside one business day.

Four valuation methods, one cross-checked range

Every serious business valuation cross-checks at least three independent methods. I run all four, then explain why they converge, or why they don't.

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)

A full DCF analysis: projected free cash flows over a 5-10 year horizon, terminal value via Gordon Growth or exit multiple, WACC built up from your real capital structure. Every assumption traceable, every cell linked, down to the basis point.

Comparable Company Analysis

Trading multiples from a curated peer set: EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, P/E, EV/Gross Profit, calibrated for size, growth, geography and margin profile. I show the range, the median, and the reason your company sits where it sits.

Precedent Transactions

Recent M&A transactions in your sector with disclosed multiples. I screen for relevance: strategic vs. financial buyers, control premiums, deal structure. Then I triangulate to a transaction-implied range you can put in front of a buyer.

Asset-Based Valuation

For asset-heavy businesses, holding companies, or wind-down scenarios: adjusted net asset value, replacement cost, liquidation value. Cross-checked against earnings-based methods to expose hidden value or hidden risk on the balance sheet.

Five situations where one number changes the outcome

A company valuation service sits behind more than deals alone. The constant: one number, properly supported, and the conversation changes.

Fundraising round

Capital event

Pre-money or post-money valuation defense for a Seed, Series A or Series B raise. I structure the model behind the number, so when a VC pushes back on your multiple, you answer with the underlying math, not a pitch deck slide.

Selling or buying a company

M&A transaction

Sell-side: a supportable asking price plus the range you're willing to negotiate to. Buy-side: an independent ceiling set before you submit an LOI. Either way, a third-party valuation buyers and lenders take seriously.

Buy/sell decision between owners

Liquidity event

Partner buyouts, divorce-driven liquidations, succession events. I produce a written valuation report that holds up under scrutiny from the other side's lawyer and accountant. The cheapest insurance you'll buy this year.

Shareholder agreement

Governance

Setting the formula in a shareholder agreement, drag-along, tag-along or ESOP. I benchmark methodology against market standard and document the calculation so the spreadsheet still works five years from now.

Strategic planning

Strategic

Internal valuations to track equity value over time, support board decisions, model option strike prices, or pressure-test whether a business unit is worth keeping. The same rigor as a transaction valuation, kept inside the building.

What you receive in one engagement

A complete valuation package. Every document is built to be reopened, updated, and explained later, when the numbers get questioned.

1

Full valuation report

A written 20-40 page valuation report covering scope, methodology, peer set construction, key assumptions, the four valuation methods, sensitivity analysis, and a final concluded range with a single point estimate.

2

Sourced assumptions

Every input to the valuation is sourced and footnoted: discount rate, growth, margins, peer-set choice, terminal value drivers. When a number gets challenged, you point to its origin in under 30 seconds.

3

Sensitivity analysis

Two-way sensitivity tables and tornado charts showing how the valuation moves with discount rate, terminal growth, exit multiple and operating assumptions. You walk into negotiations knowing the floor, the ceiling, and the breaking points.

4

Board-ready presentation

A 10-15 slide deck summarizing the report for boards, investment committees, or counter-parties. Designed to be opened in a meeting and understood without further explanation.

A valuation the other side takes seriously

Recognition on sight

VCs, PE funds, lenders and boards are conditioned to recognize Big 4 valuation structure. A valuation that looks like the ones their own analysts produce gets pushed back on less.

Methodology built for diligence

Diligence teams pull every assumption apart. Big 4 training optimizes for exactly that: every number sourced, every formula transparent, every output explainable in a single sentence.

A range, not a single number

A serious valuation is a range. You get the high and low ends, the assumptions that drive each, and the operational levers that move them. You negotiate from data, not from emotion.

Questions I get on every first call

Price, timeline, scope of a credentialed appraisal, and the single-number-vs-range question come up almost every time. Short answers below, longer answers on the call.

How much does a business valuation cost?

Market rates run from around $1,500 for a startup valuation to $30,000 and beyond at the large firms. My starter is $1,499 for early-stage, single-entity companies, and complex engagements are quoted as one fixed fee on a call, before any work begins.

How long does a business valuation take?

Most engagements ship in 2 to 4 weeks from the moment I have your financials. If you are inside a live transaction with a deadline, tell me the date on the call and I will tell you honestly whether a rush timeline works.

What information do you need from me?

Three to five years of historical financials (accounting exports are fine), your current forecast or model if one exists, your cap table, and one working session on how the business actually makes money. I build the rest.

Is this a certified appraisal?

It is an independent valuation analysis for negotiation, fundraising, transactions and strategic decisions, which covers the vast majority of situations my clients face. If your specific purpose legally requires a credentialed appraiser in your jurisdiction, for example certain tax filings or court proceedings, I will tell you that on the first call and, where useful, prepare the underlying analysis your appraiser works from.

Will I get one number or a range?

A range with a single point estimate inside it, plus the assumptions that drive the high and low ends. Anyone who hands you one precise number without a range is hiding the assumptions that produced it.
