The preliminary report has use when a client desires the appraiser’s limited opinion. These valuations are designed for asset sales of closely-held businesses (less than $2,500,000 in annual revenues).

All Calculation of Value reports are structured in the following manner:

  1. Introduction and Background
  2. National Economic Outlook
  3. Industry Overview and Outlook
  4. Financial Review and Projections
  5. Valuation Methods - Market Approach only
  6. Appendix

The Market Approach used is the Direct Data Market Method which primarily derives Price to Sales ratios and Price to Sellers Discretionary Earnings ratios from comparable sales. We use transactions from the 3 most popular small business transaction databases: IBA Database, BIZCOMPS Database and the Pratt's Stats Database. The valuation considers historical and current financial performance and assumes that the business will be sold free and clear of any liabilities and debt.

The report is usually 40-50 pages long, depending on the industry type.

According to the Institute of Business Appraisers (IBA), all Calculation of Value reports should minimally set forth in a manner that is clear and not misleading, the following:

  • Identify the client, and set forth a description of the business
    enterprise, security or other tangible and /or intangible property being
    appraised.
  • Form of the organization and if incorporated, the state of
    incorporation.
  • The purpose (standard of value) of the appraisal.
  • The function (use) of the appraisal.
  • The definition of the standard of value that is the purpose of
    the appraisal.
  • The effective (“as of”) date of the appraisal.
  • The date the appraisal report was prepared.
  • The report’s assumptions and limiting conditions.

All IBBA Members receive a $125 discount on all Calculation of Value reports. Please mentioned your IBBA membership when ordering a valuation.
