Business Valuation Appraisal in Maine
Valuations for buy-sell agreements, marital dissolution, gift and estate reporting, partner disputes, and SBA lending — supported by the evidence standard that survives cross-examination.

Common questions
Can you value a business outside Arizona?
Yes, anywhere in the world. Business valuation is not a state-licensed activity and the work is driven by financial records rather than a site visit. Be prepared to provide substantial documentation — the quality of the records largely determines the quality of the conclusion.
What will you need from us?
Three to five years of financials or returns, current interim statements, the governing agreements, and detail on owner compensation and non-operating assets. Incomplete records do not stop an engagement, but they narrow what the report can credibly conclude, and the report will say so.
How long does it take?
Typically three to six weeks from the point all financial records are in hand. Litigation matters with a firm court date are scheduled around that date.
