A Broker Opinion of Value is exactly what it sounds like: an experienced broker's informed opinion of what your business would most likely sell for in today's market. It's based on real comparable sales, your recast earnings, and the value drivers buyers actually pay for.

It's the same analysis a brokerage uses to price a listing — delivered straight to you, with no obligation to do anything next.

Real comparable sales

Your business measured against what comparable companies actually sold for — not a generic calculator multiple.

The specific factors pulling your number up or down: customer concentration, owner dependence, recurring revenue, growth.

Common questions

The free range is an instant, ballpark estimate based on your industry and earnings — useful for a gut check, but it can't account for what makes your business unique. The full Broker Opinion of Value is prepared by Ray Myers personally: recast financials, real comparable sales, a value-driver review, and a defensible Most Probable Sale Price you can take to market.

No — and for most owners thinking about selling, it shouldn't be. A certified valuation/appraisal is a formal document built for the IRS, courts, divorce, or estate matters. It costs $5,000+, takes weeks, and is built to defend a single point value. A Broker Opinion of Value answers the question owners actually have — 'what would this realistically sell for?' — faster, at a fraction of the cost, from someone who has actually sold businesses like yours.
