A business valuation is a formal analysis that determines the value of a business under a specific standard of value, often fair market value.  It is typically needed when buying a business or selling a business, securing financing (such as an SBA loan), or for legal and tax purposes like divorce or estate planning.

Most engagements are completed within 5–20 business days, depending on the complexity of the business, the purpose of the valuation, and the client’s responsiveness. For example, SBA lenders often require expedited timelines to meet closing deadlines, which drives a more streamlined data request and analysis process.

Peak offers transparent, upfront, and competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Fees generally range from $2,500 to $8,000+, depending on scope, risk, and complexity. For specific pricing, you can schedule a free consultation to discuss your situation and receive a quote.

For example:
SBA valuation: lower range, standardized scope
Litigation or complex structures: higher range due to scrutiny and reporting requirements

Valuations typically incorporate the following valuation approaches:

• Market approach (comparable transactions/multiples)
• Asset approach (when applicable)

In practice, most small business valuations heavily weight the income and market approaches unless asset intensity drives value.
