How much does a business valuation cost?
Business valuation costs can vary widely depending on the size, complexity, and specific needs of your business. For instance, small businesses with revenues under $5 million might expect standard valuations to cost between $3,000 and $10,000, with basic evaluations using standard methods often ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. These ranges typically reflect the depth and thoroughness of financial analysis and the methodology employed.
For larger or more complex businesses, the fee can be significantly higher. On average, comprehensive valuations may range from $5,000 to $25,000, with particularly complex cases sometimes reaching up to $100,000. Additionally, if a quick market-based valuation is all that is needed, benchmark figures can be available at a much lower fee—typically between $20 and $100.

Several key factors influence these costs, including the size of the company, the complexity of its operations, the specific objectives behind the valuation, and even the experience level of the valuation expert. Expedited services or certified valuations generally come with premium fees due to the extra detail and certification requirements involved.
