Know the Real Market-Based Value of your Business in as Fast as a Week.
If you’ve ever thought of selling your business, you probably have one big question: how much will I get? Beyond the sale price, you’re going to think about how your legacy can continue, what happens to your employees and customers, and what’s involved in the process.
We can help clarify all that. To begin, we look to the practical question of the current market will provide you if you do exit the business as it stands today, as well as how to improve that figure.
How Our Business Valuations Work
To determine the value of the business, we need from you:
3-Years of Financial Statements
3-Years History of Tax Returns
Identification of Owner’s Earnings
Two 2-Hour Sessions with Owner(s)
This provides us with a strong base of information about your unique company. This is combined with industry leading data sources such as PeerComps, BVR DealStats, and IBISWorld, as well as your local market data. Developing a personalized model for your company, market, competitive landscape, and situation, we are able to identify what you can expect at exit today.
Uniquely Aligned Incentives
Brokers need to sell you the dream.
Their business model is to get you under an exclusive contract early on, before you see what the market will actually pay you aside from the broker's projections and promises. This isn't a diss to brokers — even the well-intentioned brokers have to operate in this model.
We deliver reality.
Our contract-free, fee-based approach makes us unbiased and only incentivized to provide you with an accurate assessment, even if ultimately unsatisfying. We operate as advisors, not order-takers, and want the best for you, which starts with identifying reality.
What About Valuations for SBA Loan?
Valuations for SBA loans are possible but different. The valuation service described on this page is not designed to satisfy the SBA’s requirements of a valuation, which a buyer often will need if they are using an SBA 7a or 504 loan. The reason is simply because we are focused on providing value to you, the business owner, rather than the bank.
Should you need an SBA Valuation, we can help you with this through a partner who specializes in this type of valuation. This is typically something the buyer would need and pay for rather than the seller. It’s a higher expense and longer timeframe to deliver. Contact us if this is what you’re looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I get a business valuation before selling?
A valuation gives you a realistic understanding of what your business could sell for in the current market. It also highlights strengths and weaknesses that may affect the final sale price.
How accurate is a business valuation?
A valuation provides an informed estimate based on financial data and market comparisons. The final sale price may vary depending on buyer demand, deal structure, and negotiation.
How long does the valuation process take?
Bbg, Inc.’s valuations can be completed within the week once all financial information is provided. The timeline may vary depending on how quickly documentation is available.
Is a valuation only useful if I’m ready to sell now?
Not at all. Many owners get valuations years before selling so they can make strategic improvements that increase the company’s value.
How often should a business valuation be updated?
If you are planning an exit within the next few years, updating the valuation annually can help track improvements and keep expectations aligned with the market.
