Business Valuations

Burley & Associates provides a variety of business valuation services in support of the sale, merger, or acquisition of businesses. As an M&A firm specializing in small and mid-size businesses, Burley & Associates is often more in touch with the market than typical CPA or business valuation firms, and uses this focus and expertise when performing its valuation services.

Small and mid-size businesses often face the dilemma of whether to use a skilled CPA firm or a business broker to value their business. The skilled CPA or business valuation firm is typically an expert in accounting or finance, but they lack the market knowledge and M&A experience to properly value a company in contemplation of a merger or acquisition. While they will usually provide rough estimates, business brokers rarely offer true valuation services, since most lack the financial skill and training to perform a formal valuation. Burley & Associates solves this dilemma by combining the knowledge and experience of the M&A market with the training, skill, and expertise to perform a full business valuation. Furthermore, Burley & Associates performs business valuations exclusively for M&A activities. Rather than becoming a generalist and performing valuations for estate planning, marital dissolution, shareholder dissent, stock option plans, and the like, Burley & Associates keeps an exclusive focus on the sale, merger, and acquisition of small and mid-size businesses in its valuation practice.
