Business valuation engagements are conducted in accordance with the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts' Professional Standards and meet or exceed guideline standards established by the AICPA. Certified Machinery and Equipment appraisals are prepared to the rules and standards of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Method

Appraisal techniques used to appraise a business for the purpose of a sale or merger can substantially differ from methods used to appraise a business for income, estate and gift taxes. Non-Tax Valuations typically deal with factors of interest to the buyer, seller and other interested parties and the appraiser has wide discretion in valuation methodology.

If the business appraisal will be used by the IRS for any purposes, including gift and estate taxes, ESOPs, calculation of built in gain for S-Corporations, charitable contributions or allocations of purchase price, or by the courts, IRS acceptable guidelines must be considered. This typically requires a higher level of review and due diligence. That's why it's important to take the time to explain to us the exact purpose and intended use of the business appraisal.

Before we start any engagement we confirm, in writing our full understanding of the assignment, your scheduling requirements and our fees. Next we arrange a site visit / management interview because it is our experience — as well as buyers, lenders, sellers, IRS agents and the courts -- the site visit not only helps the analyst get a better perspective, it makes a difference in the credibility of the conclusions. Most valuators cut corners and dismiss the importance of a site visit; we don't because our clients expect it.
​
If a large portion of the company's value is in its fixed assets, we will arrange a certified machinery and equipment appraisal by our affiliate, National Equipment Appraisal. You won't waste time coordinating appraisers and it makes sense to have a single contact to complete the business valuation and equipment appraisal because it saves time, money and improves accuracy.
​
When the business valuation report and certified machinery and equipment appraisal is complete, we deliver it in person to provide our insight. Lastly, we keep you informed during the entire business appraisal engagement.

Guarantee

Our clients trust us to always look out for their best interests. With this in mind, our work is guaranteed to the complete satisfaction of the client. If the client is not completely satisfied with our services, we will, at the client's option, either waive professional fees, or accept a portion of those fees that reflects the client's level of satisfaction.
