Who Needs a NACVA-Certified Business Valuation?
Professional valuations are essential for high-stakes business decisions requiring defensible, credible analysis
Know your business's true market value before entering negotiations. A credible valuation gives you leverage and prevents leaving money on the table.
Whether buying out a partner or being bought out, a neutral third-party valuation ensures fairness and reduces conflict.
Courts require credible, defensible valuations for equitable distribution. NACVA-certified reports are widely accepted in legal proceedings.
IRS requires professional valuations for estate tax returns and gifting business interests. Avoid penalties with compliant documentation.
Lenders often require formal valuations for business acquisition loans. Professional reports strengthen your application and loan terms.
At this revenue level, the complexity of your business warrants professional valuation expertise to capture all value drivers accurately.
Understanding your current value helps guide strategic decisions, capital allocation, and growth initiatives for the future.
When disagreements arise about company value or direction, an independent valuation provides objective data to resolve conflicts.

Common Questions About Business Valuations
How much does a business valuation cost?
It depends on your business complexity, but most of my engagements start around $6,000. That gets you a full, NACVA-compliant report—not a one-page letter or a calculator output. For context: Big firms charge $15K-$25K+ for the same work because they're billing for partners who don't do the work and junior analysts who do. I do the work myself, which keeps costs down without cutting corners. During our free consultation, I'll give you an exact fixed-price quote based on your situation. No surprises, no hourly billing creep.
How long does a business valuation take?
Most valuations are completed within 2-3 weeks once I receive all required documentation. This is significantly faster than the industry average of 8-16 weeks, allowing you to move forward with your transaction or planning needs quickly.
Why should I hire a professional business valuator?
A professional business valuator understands local market dynamics, including the Boise Metropolitan Area's economic conditions and industry-specific factors affecting technology, healthcare, manufacturing, government businesses. As a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), I provide defensible valuations accepted by courts, CPAs, and financial institutions—essential for M&A transactions, partner buyouts, and legal proceedings.
What's the difference between a business appraiser and business valuator?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Both perform the same function: determining the fair market value of your business. The key is finding a certified professional (CVA, ASA, or ABV) who follows recognized valuation standards like NACVA Professional Standards, ensuring your valuation is credible and defensible.
Do you serve businesses in the Boise Metropolitan Area?
