A Valuation for Every Scenario

Not all valuations are alike. Today, owners, sellers and buyers have a multitude of important information to sift through. From recurring revenue to profit margins, to growth and retention rates, our team masterfully sorts the relevant datapoints to expertly distill a clear assessment of value. As we all know, data is the ‘what’ – but a valuation also needs the ‘why.’

Industry rules of thumb, commonly expressed as pricing multiples, are misleading without context. The assumption of a one-size-fits-all solution is wildly outdated. After supporting more than 15,000 valuations over the past twenty years, our experts know exactly which questions matter, and they can give you direct comparisons to a perfectly matched cohort. We will explain how value is truly measured in an informed, scientifically repeatable process.  When it comes to valuing your life’s work, our team of analysts and experts takes an unmatched approach to getting it right.  

Value Your Business

Our team takes a bespoke approach to uncovering your valuation intent - which truly matters when talking about the value of your business. There are many resources for advisors ranging from turnkey, low-cost and on up through concierge support and collecting hundreds of data points. What we encourage advisors to consider is the "why" behind their valuation. Whether you are seeking a current market value for M&A, internal succession, or other key business objective - there is absolutely a "right" approach for you. 

 

Time is a scarce resource for most advisors, and that's why getting it right the first time is critical.
