Business Valuations Built on
Independence and Clarity.
For businesses or estates who want a fair and defensible valuation number.
A valuation is only useful if both sides can trust the number.
When a business changes hands, whether it's going to a family member, a group of employees, or the next generation, the number attached to it carries a lot of weight. We provide an independent, third-party valuation that looks only at the numbers, not the relationships or emotions surrounding them.
That objectivity is what makes a valuation useful to everyone involved. It gives the buyer and seller a fair place to start, and it helps families move through a transition with less tension and more trust.
We provide Business Valuation for a variety of purposes.
Owners Ready To Transition
Having an objective Business Valuation is important for business owners preparing to sell to a family member, a group of employees, or an outside party. A clear, defensible valuation gives everyone a fair place to start the conversation.
Estate & Gift Planning Valuations
For high-net-worth business owners, we provide valuations that support moving value into a trust, restructuring business shares, or gifting to heirs. We work alongside your attorney and other advisors to help you plan with clarity.
Owners Who Want To Better Understand Their Business
If you are a business owner and want to better understand your business's value, then a valuation can help track ROI or future decisions.
What every McClarigan Valuation includes
We understand that a valuation only works if both sides can trust it. This is why we hold every project to the same established process.
Independent, Third-Party Objectivity
We approach every valuation as an independent third party, even in cases where we already have a business relationship with you. Our job is to analyze the numbers and remain objective.
Normalized Adjustments as Standard Practice
Every valuation includes normalized adjustments, accounting for items that do not reflect the business’s normal, ongoing operations to present a fair conclusion for all parties involved.
A Full View of Market Factors
We look at all of the market factors in play, not just the financials on paper, so the final number reflects how the business actually operates and how it would perform under new ownership.
Experience Across a Wide Range of Industries
The Firm has been involved in valuations spanning several industries including manufacturing, construction, retail, farming, and more, giving us a strong understanding of what drives value in many business sectors.
Five Years of Data, When Possible
Whenever the records allow, we analyze five years of the business’s financial history, in order to reflect an accurate business cycle.
A Personalized Approach to Every Project
Every project gets a personalized approach that focuses on the relationships between the owners, buyers, and sellers involved. We know the ultimate goal isn't just agreeing on a number, but also a smooth and fair transition.

A Simple, Straightforward Process
Three steps to create a report you can trust.
Discovery Call
We start with a conversation about your business, your goals, and what the valuation needs to accomplish, whether that's a sale, a gift, or your own peace of mind.
Documentation
We gather the financial records we need, including up to five years of data when it's available, to build an accurate, complete picture of your business.
Your Report
We deliver your completed valuation report and review it with you, so you understand exactly how we arrived at the number and what it means for your next step.
Confidence to make your next move.
Confidence that your valuation was done in a reputable way by a reputable firm.
The clarity to make informed decisions with the results in hand.
A fair, independent number that lets buyer and seller move forward together, or apart, with confidence.
For owners valuing their business on its own: the assurance that what you're putting in is returning real value.
