Professional Practices Appraisals
Medical, dental, legal, and accounting practices.
Business valuation is not a state-licensed activity, and the work is document-driven rather than site-driven. NextPhase accepts these engagements anywhere in the United States and internationally. Expect to provide substantial financial records — see what we'll need below.
What drives the number
Professional practice value splits between transferable enterprise goodwill and personal goodwill attached to the practitioner. In marital dissolution that distinction is frequently decisive, and jurisdictions treat the two very differently.

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.
Do you apply discounts for lack of control or marketability?
Where the assignment and the interest being valued support them, yes — and the report documents the basis for each. Unsupported discounts are the fastest way to lose a valuation in court.
