Business Valuation


Business valuation is more than simply recognizing the intrinsic worth of an asset: it is a complex financial process that demands an accurate understanding of business strategy, accounting and financial analysis as well as financial statement forecasting. The fair value measurements performed by business valuation firms provide the quantitative basis upon which informed management and shareholder decisions are made.

Our goal at BPM is to provide our clients with comprehensive, accurate corporate valuation services that meet all of the relevant IRS and FASB regulations as well as GAAP protocols. Our accredited business valuation experts have highly specialized industry expertise, successfully applying their knowledge and discipline to sectors as diverse as high tech, life sciences, financial services, real estate, and others. When acquiring or selling a pre-revenue company, an accurate small business valuation can be the critical component needed to capture long-term gains. As one of the top business valuation firms in Silicon Valley, our approach is both hands-on and thorough; we take a personal commitment to understanding your short- and long-term business needs.

Our valuation work has been applied for:

  • Stock options issuance
  • Intellectual property
  • Purchase price allocations (ASC 805)
  • Estate, gift, and income tax
  • Charitable contributions
  • 409a valuation
  • Litigation purposes
  • Mergers
