BGH Valuation Services

Can a Valuation Firm Tell You the Value of Your Business Before Starting the Valuation?

No. Providing a value before conducting a full analysis would compromise independence and accuracy. A defensible valuation must be based on thorough review.

How Long Does a Business Valuation Take?

Typically 2–4 weeks, depending on the report type and how quickly required documents are provided.

What Information Is Needed for a Business Valuation?

3–5 years of tax returns and/or financials, YTD statements, owner compensation details, and a completed questionnaire is a good starting point!

What Valuation Standards Do You Follow?

We follow established valuation methodologies and are NACVA-certified. Our reports adhere to recognized professional standards and comply with SBA SOP guidelines when applicable.

Can One Valuation Report Be Used for Different Purposes?

Not usually. Reports are prepared for specific uses. Reuse may require an update or reliance letter.

Are You Independent from Buyers, Sellers, or Lenders?

Yes. We don’t broker deals or earn contingent fees. Our compensation is fixed or hourly and not tied to the valuation outcome.

How Much Does a Business Valuation Cost?

Fees depend on the scope, complexity, and type of report required. We offer fixed-fee or hourly pricing after scoping.

How Do I Start the Business Valuation Process?

We begin with a consultation, then provide a quote, engagement letter, and list of required documents.
