WHY WOULD I NEED A BUSINESS VALUATION? • The I. R. S. requires an independent valuation
for gift or estate tax purposes. WHY USE A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS APPRAISER? A professional business appraiser has the knowledge and experience needed to make the valuation accurate and meaningful. A valuation developed by a professional appraiser will provide credibility. Unlike an informal estimate or opinion of value by someone who may have a stake in the result, a valuation by a professional appraiser will be recognized as being both unbiased and accurate. WHAT IF I DON'T NEED MY BUSINESS APPRAISED? Even if you do not need a formal appraisal, for the normal perceived reasons, one of our reports may be able to improve your current situation, as generally an appraisal or valuation will reveal sources of profit leaks. We can consul with the owner about factors that add or detract value, which can help position the business better in the market. Experts believe it is a good idea to have the firm appraised every year to examine the company's entire operation. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO VALUE MY BUSINESS? After we receive all required information, it usually takes 6-10 days to complete the entire valuation. Depending on the nature of the assignment, reports are between 10 to 60 pages. WHAT IS THE COST OF A BUSINESS VALUATION? United Business Consultants is committed to providing valuations of the highest quality at the lowest cost. Our fees are based on the time involved in each project and are independent of the size or value of the business. Depending on the type of valuation, our reports are priced approximately 20-30% less than National Firms. Following a preliminary discussion, we provide a proposal with the estimated cost and a description of the services to be performed. WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE United Business Consultants? 1.

While performing the valuation we may contact the customer for questions or clarification, or to obtain additional information.

Following the summary review, we print, bind and mail the final valuation notifying the customer by email or telephone to confirm shipment.
