The most valuable asset of a small business is the value of the business itself. But how much the business is worth? An entire industry is dedicated to answering that question: the business valuation profession.
It is a challenge to select the right business valuation firm especially when your need is specific, and price is a factor. There are more than 72,000 business valuation firms in the US. They range in size from one-person firms (the most common) to companies with many thousands of employees.
You can get a business valuation free. Or, for $300-$500. Or for $20,000. More common is $5,000 to $8,000 for a high-quality, reliable, multi-use and certified valuation.
