About the Report

The Essentials Broker Opinion of Value Report provides you with the value for a business based on financial performance, market variables, comparable sales data, and industry expertise that indicate what a buyer might willingly pay for the business on the open market.

The report includes the historic financials of the company as well as the adjusted financials, which are the basis of the valuation. You will see a "likely" or "suggested" price based on the median value of the comparable transactions.
