Features & Benefits

Built for Non-Valuation Professionals

  • No Financial Statements. Does not require 3 years of financial statements, current income statements, balance sheets, or projected income– so you don’t have to search for it, or work with your accountant to put it together before you can do an assessment.
  • Simple Input Values. You only have to input values that you typically already know such as the length of your lease, the strength of ongoing accounts, your ability to pay off any loans, the general competition in your market or area, etc.– without having to consult your accountant or update old financials.
  • Easy to Understand Results. The report generates an easy-to-understand narrative and value, showing what your business might actually sell for. It also shows actual “comps” of what real businesses have sold for in your industry—making it extremely simple to understand.
  • Upgradable to ValuSource Pro. If you find a ballpark valuation isn’t enough, or you need advanced help from a professional, you can upgrade to ValuSource Pro.

Usability

  • Guided Questions. The program guides you through all the questions needed to complete your report—without requiring professional help.
  • Fewest Number of Inputs. Online Business Valuation only requests 29 fields of information vs alternative applications that average 43 (almost double the required inputs)—so it is easy and quick to complete.
  • Easy to Find Input Data. The program only requires qualitative information you typically already know (without spending hours trying to compile financials or do complicated research).
