Business Valuation

Business valuation is a complex, thorough process requiring both broad and deep knowledge of accounting, finance, economics and business, expert application of recognized valuation methodologies, and diligent adherence to professional standards. When selecting a valuation service, choose high expertise, experience, and excellence. ValuationUSA embodies all three. We serve primarily closely-held businesses and their owners and professionals. Our experience covers most industries and all types of ownership interests, including voting and non-voting, preferred stock, debt instruments, and controlling and non-controlling.

Business valuation requires an understanding of business opportunities, risks, and management abilities.

Our business valuation credentialed expertise and real world business experience enable high value results.
