Certified Business Valuations
Certified Business Valuations are performed by Certified Valuation Analysts (CVA) to provide an objective, defensible assessment of a business’s intrinsic value.
These valuations follow established professional standards and are prepared for formal use cases including tax planning, estate and gift planning, litigation support, divorce, partner disputes, SBA lending, and other situations requiring a substantiated valuation.
Unlike a Broker Opinion of Value, which is prepared for marketing and transaction purposes, a certified valuation is designed to withstand scrutiny by courts, CPAs, attorneys, lenders, and regulatory bodies.
What Makes A Certified Valuation Different
Depth And Accuracy
A certified valuation examines historical financials, normalized earnings, risk factors, industry benchmarks, cash flow sustainability, and growth assumptions using accepted valuation methodologies.
Credibility And Defensibility
CVA-prepared reports are recognized by the IRS, courts, lenders, and professional advisors, making them appropriate for legal and financial decision-making.
Strategic Insight
Beyond a conclusion of value, a certified valuation identifies value drivers and detractors, providing clarity on what strengthens or weakens business value over time.
Purpose-Built Reporting
Each valuation is prepared for a specific stated purpose, ensuring the scope, assumptions, and methods align with the intended use.This is a Paragraph Font
Choosing The Right Valuation Path
A certified valuation explains what a business is worth and why.
A Broker Opinion of Value estimates what a business may sell for in the current market.
If your goal is transaction pricing, a BOV may be appropriate.
If your goal requires formal analysis or third-party reliance, a certified valuation is the correct starting point..
Certified valuations require a formal intake to determine scope, purpose, and compliance requirements
