The keys to effective business valuation.

How Ezvaluator Works

Ezvaluator delivers reliable, useful business valuations by combining three factors we’ve found to be crucial: Asking you, the business owner, the right questions; Utilizing accurate, proven valuation techniques; And building on market intelligence from the best and most relevant sources.

The Right Questions

We believe the key to getting good information about your business is knowing how to ask the right questions. Our Business Profile Questionnaire is designed to get the crucial information required to analyze your business without requiring specialized knowledge or excess effort on your part.

The entire questionnaire consists of about 40 short answer and multiple choice questions. All you need is about an hour’s worth of time and your most recent tax returns for reference.

The Proven Approach

While many might argue that business valuation is more art than science, we have based our approach on employing the most reliable and accepted business valuation methodologies. For each Ezvaluator valuation, we use a blend of five different valuation techniques covering asset-based, income-based and market date-based methods. On top of this we use the IRS’s valuation standards (covered in Revenue Ruling 59-60) and employ time-tested business analysis algorithms as the framework for our Benchmark Appraisal Report.

The Best Intelligence

Supporting the information you provide in the Business Profile Questionnaire is some of the most trusted and reliable third-party business intelligence available. We use this to identify the details of recent sales of similar businesses, industry performance benchmarks and small business economic trends.

This data comes from sources like the Bizcomps® small business sale database (encompassing over 7,000 recent transactions in every industry), US Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics and National Federation of Independent Businesses. Together they provide the solid foundation of objective intelligence required to deliver accurate and supportable business analysis.
