What Is Your Business Really Worth?
Understanding your business’s value is essential for making smart decisions — whether you’re preparing to sell, planning for growth, or managing a transition. At Maveno, we combine real-world insight with proven valuation methods to give you clarity you can trust.
A valuation isn’t just for selling. Owners often seek one when planning for succession, exploring a merger or acquisition, addressing legal or shareholder matters, or simply measuring performance and setting long-term goals. Our goal is to provide more than a number — we deliver context and guidance to help you make informed decisions that protect and grow the value you’ve built.
Which Report is Right For You?
Every business is different, and so are its valuation needs. Whether you’re preparing to sell, planning ahead, or handling a complex transaction, our valuation options are designed to fit your goals.

Common Questions
Are valuations typically this expensive?
Certified business valuations often range from $10,000 to $20,000, depending on the level of analysis required. Because our core practice is business brokerage, we’re able to leverage our resources and systems to offer standalone informational valuation reports at a fraction of that cost.
Our goal is to make credible, data-driven valuations accessible to business owners who want professional insight without the typical expense of a certified appraisal.
How is a professional valuation different from a broker’s estimate?
Our advisors can certainly provide a ballpark estimate based on market trends, but a professional valuation report involves a far more detailed and comprehensive process. We analyze every aspect of your business, interview you to uncover hidden value, and select market comparables by hand. The result is a solid, defensible valuation that holds up during negotiations and gives you the confidence to move forward with clarity.
What if I need a Certified Report for legal reasons?
For complex or high-value transactions that require certified expertise, our firm partners with credentialed valuation professionals, including AICPA-certified and NACVA-accredited appraisers. Through these partnerships, we can facilitate Prequalified and Certified Valuation Reports that meet formal standards such as USPAP. These reports are ideal for situations involving legal matters, estate or gift planning, partner buyouts, or mergers and acquisitions requiring a defensible, third-party opinion of value. When needed, we’ll coordinate directly with our valuation partners to ensure you receive the right level of certified analysis and documentation.
What information do I need to provide to get started?
Getting started is simple. The data collection process typically takes 10–15 minutes, and we only ask for what’s essential to prepare an accurate valuation.
General Business Information
- Owner name(s) and title(s)
- Legal business name (e.g., ABC, LLC) and DBA, if applicable
- Primary business address
- Company website, if available
- Entity type (LLC, Partnership, C-Corp, Nonprofit, etc.)
Financial Information
You can upload either financial statements (Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet) or tax returns for the last three full years, plus the current year or trailing 12 months for seasonal businesses.
Tax returns are often preferred for buy/sell purposes, while financial statements are ideal for strategic planning. If unsure, consult your advisor, lender, or CPA for guidance.
