Business Valuation in Alpharetta & North Atlanta

What Is Your Business Actually Worth?

An honest, market-tested valuation is the starting point for every good exit — and the baseline for a plan that starts two or three years out.

Why Start Here

The Number a Buyer Will Believe

Most owners have a figure in mind. Most buyers have a different one, and theirs is built from normalized cash flow — three years of financials and a trailing twelve months with personal expenses, non-cash items, family payroll, and below-market rent added back or taken out. Our valuation is built the same way, so the number you plan around is the number a buyer and a lender will recognize.

If you are two or three years from an exit, this is also where we find what to fix: owner dependence, customer concentration, financials that don’t tie out. Time is the one thing that makes those affordable to solve.

Standards

Independent, Defensible, USPAP-Compliant

Murphy company valuations are performed by qualified, professional appraisers experienced in business valuation and business transfers, in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and the Business Appraisal Standards of the Institute of Business Appraisers. Proven, peer-reviewed methods produce opinions of value that hold up in front of a buyer, a bank, a partner, or a court.

Valuation Products

Two Reports, Depending on What You Need

Business Valuation Report

A formal summary report for non-litigation situations — typically all that is needed to set a selling price or support a buy-sell agreement between partners or shareholders.

Business Appraisal Report

A formal comprehensive report suitable for litigation support and review by third parties such as the IRS. It explains step by step what was done and how the value was derived.

The Team on Your Numbers

Modeled the Way Buyers & Bankers Model It

John does the financial analysis himself — monthly, year-to-date, and trailing-twelve-month performance with a three-year forecast — the same way private equity groups, family offices, and SBA lenders evaluate a business. Tony normalizes the P&L on larger or multi-entity businesses, often alongside an M&A accountant, so the EBITDA you plan on is the EBITDA that survives diligence. Phil, a Certified Exit Planning Advisor, turns the valuation into a readiness plan if you are two to five years out.

The goal is to preempt the re-trade: answer the hard questions before a buyer asks them.
