Business Valuation FAQs
Yes. Cooperhawk offers complimentary business valuations with no obligation to sell. The valuation is designed to give you an informed perspective on what your business may be worth and factors that may affect value or marketability. If you are considering a sale, we can also discuss your timing and options.
Standard documents for a business valuation include three to five years of tax returns, profit and loss statements, balance sheets and current year-to-date profit and loss statements and balance sheet. Sending all the documents together instead of as separate submissions helps streamline the process. The specific information needed may vary depending on the business. If some information is unavailable, we can discuss what is available and what may be needed to complete the valuation.
Once we have the information needed for the valuation, many valuations can be completed within two to three business days. Timing may vary depending on the business, the complexity of the financial information, and whether additional information is needed. Our advisors personally review the information provided before discussing the valuation with you.
Yes. A business valuation can be useful even if a sale is still several years away. Understanding what the business may be worth can help an owner think through timing and identify factors that may influence value or marketability.

Thinking About Selling or Buying a Business?
