Most business owners have a rough sense of what their company might be worth. But a rough sense isn't enough when the moment that matters arrives — a sale, a raise, an estate plan, or a legal proceeding. BruneHare gives you a clear, independent, defensible answer. In plain language. Without the runaround.
Scenarios
Thinking about selling: Whether a sale is two months away or two years away, knowing your number before you sit across the table from a buyer changes everything. You negotiate differently. You plan differently. You don't leave money behind.
Estate Planning: Estate and succession planning requires a formal, defensible valuation — one that holds up with the IRS, with your heirs, and with the courts if it comes to that. We produce valuations that attorneys and CPAs can work with confidently.
Raising Capital: Whether you're bringing in an investor or going to the bank, you need to know what your business is worth and why. An independent valuation gives you credibility — and gives the other side confidence.
Divorce Proceedings: When a business is part of a marital estate, both sides need an independent, credible valuation. We work with divorce attorneys and their clients to produce conclusions that are rigorous, documented, and defensible.
We will make it easy
First, tell us about your business and what you're trying to accomplish. We'll tell you what kind of valuation you need, what it involves, and what it costs. No obligation.
Next, we will need supporting information such as financial statements, tax returns, any relevant agreements. We'll give you a clear list and walk you through it. Most of what we need you already have.
We then analyze your business — its financials, its market, what comparable companies have sold for, and what's driving value. For complex situations, we draw on a global team with deep analytical capabilities to make sure no dimension of the problem goes unexamined.
Finally, you get a clear, written conclusion — and a conversation where we explain exactly how we got there, what's driving value, and what it means for whatever comes next.
For attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors
If you regularly work with business owners on estate planning, divorce proceedings, or business transitions, we'd like to be a resource for you. BruneHare produces valuations that hold up — documented, defensible, and delivered on your timeline. We're easy to work with and we don't make your clients feel like a number.
