Summary Business Valuation (SV)

If you want or need a more detailed valuation, but still have a limited budget, our Summary Business Valuation will save you money. We spend less time preparing a Summary valuation because a few pre-determined valuation procedures are eliminated, so our fees are less.

What we do
We will perform normal valuation procedures limited in a few predetermined areas.

 

What we don't do

We do not perform certain pre-determined valuation procedures that typically do not have significant impact on the value of a small business. We often eliminate the search for comparable publicly traded companies, and the analysis of the economic conditions and outlook.

 

What you get

You will receive a detailed written report with our professional opinion or estimate of value with an explanation that our procedures were limited.

 

What we need from you

We will need five years of financial statements and/or tax returns plus other financial information like listings of receivables, payables, inventory, and fixed assets. We will also need documents like real estate leases, loan agreements, articles of incorporation, and buy-sell agreements.

How long does it take

Our normal turnaround time for a Summary valuation is 2 to 3 weeks from receipt of all requested information and the retainer.

 

How much does it cost

Our fee for a Summary Valuation is about 60 percent of the cost of a Comprehensive one, and depends on the size of the business (by annual sales) and the complexity of the valuation engagement. Typical fees for businesses with annual sales of less than $5 million range from $1,800 to $3,600. A 50% retainer is required.
