Opinion of Value – Gain Clarity and Confidence in Your Business’s Worth
What Is an Evergreen Business Advisors Opinion of Value?
An Opinion of Value is a professional, market-based assessment designed to help you understand what your business could be worth in a private sale, succession plan, or strategic growth effort. Many business owners lack confidence in their company’s value, making long-term vision planning or exit strategies unclear at best. Our goal is to empower you with the insights needed to make informed decisions about your future.
Unlike a formal business appraisal, which is often required for IRS reporting, legal matters, or estate settlements, an Opinion of Value is a practical, data-driven evaluation that provides a real-world estimate of your business’s worth in today’s market.Whether you’re exploring a sale, preparing for estate planning, or setting long-term growth objectives, an Opinion of Value gives you the clarity and confidence needed to take your next steps.
Our Opinion of Value includes:
