Why Miami Businesses Choose Us
Nielsen Valuation Florida is your local Miami resource for independent valuations. We frequently meet clients face-to-face and offer on-site visits when a deeper review is needed.
Expect balanced, plain-English reports tailored to your purpose. We prioritize IRS standards and rulings, aiming squarely at fair market value, not wishful thinking.
Practical, IRS-Aligned Valuations
Our work is built to hold up under scrutiny—regulators, lenders, and courts included.
We follow the guidance in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Revenue Ruling 59-60. That means no preset formulas, no standardized cap-rate tables, and no theoretical marketability discounts detached from reality.
Applied to our Miami assignments, this yields reliable, non-speculative conclusions that reflect what the market would actually pay for a business, information that can be used confidently in negotiations or litigation.
Look Past the Ledger
Taking financial statements at face value is a common error in valuation.
At Nielsen Valuation Florida, we focus on economic reality, not just reported figures.
Why it matters:
- Balance sheets reflect book value, which often diverges from market value.
- Income statements can include one-offs, timing quirks, or owner-specific items.
So we normalize first. Think of a Miami boatyard: most of the time goes into hull prep; the finish coat is the easy part. Valuation is similar: the upfront work drives the quality of the result.
Methods Matched to Your Situation
We use no plug-and-play formulas. We analyze the business and apply the method, or mix of methods, that best fits your situation.
The three primary approaches are used:
- Market approach – informed by what comparable businesses in Miami/South Florida actually sell for
- Asset approach – net market value of assets minus liabilities
- Income approach – value derived from earnings/cash flow and risk

What Is My Miami Business Worth?
When you plan to sell a business, the number that matters is market value: the price a well-informed buyer would actually pay, not a theoretical figure.
We frequently find two misconceptions among business sellers:
A frequent pitfall is pricing today for tomorrow’s hopes. But buyers expect to earn the upside they create with their capital and effort. An unbiased valuation anchors expectations to what exists now, not what “might” exist in a few years’ time.
Another trap is survivorship bias. Pointing to outlier success stories (e.g., PayPal, Spotify, Alphabet, Meta) overlooks how many ventures actually never get there. Savvy buyers price that risk.
