Business Evaluation Systems

Overview

Business Brokers have relied on Business Evaluation Systems and its PC-based predecessor for over twenty years to quickly produce “brokers opinion of value” or “most probable selling price” reports. Business Evaluation Systems also incorporates data from both ValuSource Market Comps (formerly IBA Market Data) and BIZCOMPS to include comparable transactions in the analysis and page report.

Why To Buy

Following are the main reasons you may wish to consider Business Evaluation Systems:

• Provides a quick and easy way to value a business (most probable selling price) in less than 45 minutes with no financial/valuation background necessary.
• Incorporates both ValuSource Market Comps (formerly IBA Market Data) and BIZCOMPS data into the analysis and reports. (ValuSource Market Comps (formerly IBA Market Data) and BIZCOMPS data purchased separately)
• Allows you to charge $500 to $1000 per evaluation (33+ page reports). Some brokers give these reports to clients at no charge as a listing incentive.
• Helps you to build credibility with both sellers and buyers by being able to quickly offer comprehensive business evaluations.
• Helps you sell businesses for higher prices because sellers have solid and unbiased documentation that buyers respect.

How it Works

A step-by-step navigator leads you through the valuation process, backed up by detailed help files. Business Evaluation Systems also contains an expanded post-sale cash flow analysis, a return on investment analysis and a Discounted Cash Flow module that makes appraising rapidly growing businesses more accurate. You are able to produce a comprehensive report on a small business without being a financial professional.

Constantly improved and updated, Business Evaluation Systems is based on the same product built over two decades ago by George Abraham. Over 32 years, George Abraham valued more than 12,000 companies, both small and large. Mr. Abraham was one of the first to recognize that it was possible to create software for business brokers to quickly and accurately value businesses.
