About Other Valuation Firms
In today’s marketplace, business valuation services typically fall into one of the following restrictive categories:
- Regionally fragmented accounting firms or individual business appraisers that are confined to their cities, yielding limited industry diversity and typically overpriced services.
- Firms that require their clients to do all of the heavy lifting, recasting, and information gathering.
- Do-it-yourself software that is very limited in processes and naturally biased in the eyes of buyers, lenders and partners. The business owner is the one doing the valuation, not an independent, professional expert. Inaccuracies, misrepresentations and incorrect fair market value are common with DIY software tools.
