Business valuation reports can be prepared for many different purposes. That’s why we offer two types of business valuation reports: Broker Opinion of Value and Certified Valuation Report. Below is a summary of what these two reports entail, how they differ, and when you might benefit most from each.

Broker Opinion of Value or BoV Reports) are less time-intensive to produce and more affordable. Typically 30-40 pages, these reports provide valuable insight to establish a market price, support exit planning or inform internal business planning decisions. The BoV report is best suited for individuals who don’t need a certified valuation and are comfortable with more standard procedures and reporting. All reports are prepared by certified financial analysts of our valuation team.

Certified Valuation Reports are prepared by a certified business appraiser. Typically 65-100 pages, these reports include in-depth written analysis of the nature & history of company, industry & economy, financial analysis and conclusion of value. This type of report is best when you expect a lot of scrutiny over the value or when there is a high level of interest in detailed support and explanation of the valuation.
