Appraisal Reports

The goal of an appraisal analysis is to express an unambiguous opinion or conclusion of value. The results of an appraisal analysis are presented in either a summary report or a comprehensive, detailed report. Although the underlying appraisal analysis is similar, a summary report provides an abridged version of the information that would be provided in a comprehensive, detailed report.

Calculations and Consulting Analysis

We recognize that not every situation calls for a comprehensive, detailed valuation. ClarityBV offers calculations of value and the fast and affordable BenchCalc analysis for planning purposes and internal-use assignments.

A calculation analysis provides an approximate indication of value based on limited procedures. A calculation does not result in a formal opinion or conclusion of value. A calculation report is not intended to conform with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a valuation cost?

  • The cost of a formal business valuation varies significantly based on the complexity of the business and engagement. Because each business and project is unique, please contact us to discuss your case in strict confidence.

How long does a valuation take?

  • Most business valuations take about 4 to 8 weeks from start to finish. A calculation analysis may be completed more quickly than an appraisal analysis, often within a week or two.

Does ClarityBV appraise real estate or machinery and equipment?

The short answer is “no.” ClarityBV's focus is business valuation. Appraisers tend to specialize in a specific discipline, such as:

  • Business Valuation
  • Real Estate (commercial, industrial, residential, etc.)
  • Personal Property (machinery and equipment, vehicles, antiques, art, jewelry, etc.)
