How to Prepare

To help our appraisal team complete your report efficiently, here’s some information that will be useful to gather along the way. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything upfront—we’ll guide you through the process in the Data Collection Portal:

3 Years of Financial Statements (or Tax Returns)

You will choose to upload either financial statements (Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet) or tax returns of the business for the last three full years. Tax returns are usually preferred if you are buying or selling a business; however, financial statements are usually preferred for strategic planning purposes. Consult with your advisor, lender, or CPA regarding their preference.

Year-to-Date Financial Statements

You will also be asked to upload a year-to-date financial statement through the valuation date. Be sure the year-to-date financials are through the same valuation date. It is preferred to use a month-end, quarter-end, or year-end date when possible.

Trailing 12 Months Profit &Loss Statement (optional)

If your business is seasonal, then we highly recommend uploading a Trailing 12-Month Profit & Loss Statement. This will allow your valuation expert to better understand how to forecast revenue and expenses for the remaining months of the current year.

Payment Options

You can choose to pay via credit card or US bank account via our partnership with Stripe. 

You can also pay at your own pace via our partnership with Affirm. You choose the payment schedule that works for you and you won’t be charged late fees or penalties of any kind, ever. Select affirm at checkout.

 For Canadian businesses, you can pay with pre-authorized debit in Canada. Be sure to select this option prior to check-out.
