Why Every Business Needs an Accurate Valuation

A business valuation determines the fair market value of your company based on its financial performance, assets, market conditions, and risk. The result is a well-supported valuation that can be used for sales, buyouts, tax reporting, litigation, succession planning, and other major business decisions.

Aria uses recognized valuation methodologies, documents every assumption, and delivers a defensible report that stands up to scrutiny from buyers, lenders, courts, and tax authorities. Our business valuation specialists provide clear, actionable insights so you can move forward with confidence.

Valuation Support For Every Stage Of Ownership

Our business valuation advisory services cover the moments that matter most to an owner, each one requiring its own approach, standard, and documentation.

Sale And Exit Valuation

A grounded valuation for owners preparing to list their business, giving you a realistic asking price and a stronger negotiating position.

Estate And Gift Valuation

IRS-ready reports for family wealth transfer, gifting strategies, and estate planning, prepared alongside your legal counsel.

Partner Buyout Valuation

An independent, defensible number when partners are separating ownership, reducing friction and protecting the relationship on both sides.

Stock Incentive Valuation

Formal valuations that support equity compensation and stock incentive plans, giving your business a compliant basis for issuance.

Your Business Valuation Can Come At No Cost

Owners who engage Aria for M&A advisory services for the sale of their business receive a valuation of their business as part of the engagement, at no additional charge. It's one of the reasons owners bring us in early, before a listing price is ever set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn about Our recipe for your M&A Success

Get a valuation before you need one. Owners typically request one when preparing to sell, negotiating a partner buyout, setting up an estate or gifting plan, or issuing stock incentives. Waiting until a buyer or attorney asks for a number often means less time to prepare.

Aria's valuation team works directly alongside in-house CPA and legal partners on every engagement. That means the financial analysis, tax implications, and legal considerations are handled by one coordinated group rather than passed between separate outside firms.

Start by gathering recent financial statements, tax returns, and a summary of assets and liabilities. It also helps to have a clear reason for the valuation in mind, since a valuation prepared for a sale is built differently than one prepared for estate planning.

Most valuations are completed within two to four weeks once all documents are received. Timelines can shift based on the complexity of the business and how quickly financial records are provided.

We typically request three years of financial statements, recent tax returns, a list of business assets and liabilities, and any existing partnership or shareholder agreements. Additional documents may be requested depending on the purpose of the valuation.
