What does a Fort Lauderdale valuation usually cost?

Your fee reflects the scope of the valuation, the depth of work, and the size and complexity of the company. Share a few details and we’ll prepare a Fort Lauderdale–specific, tailored quote.

Do you handle different industries and company sizes?

Yes. We serve a broad mix of sectors, business types and sizes. The only work we don’t take on is pure start-up valuations.

When will my report be ready?

Typical turnaround is five to fifteen business days, driven by scope and how quickly documents are provided. Tell us your target date and we’ll schedule the work to suit it.

Can I use the appraisal in court?

Yes. Our opinions are developed in line with IRS Revenue Ruling 59-60 and have been accepted by courts. If litigation is on the horizon, let us know at kickoff so we can align scope, exhibits, and documentation.

Why Partner With Us for Your Fort Lauderdale Valuation?

Nielsen Valuation Florida serves clients throughout Broward and South Florida, and we’re glad to meet on site when that adds clarity to the work.

Good valuations reflect how a specific company actually operates—its risks, its customers, and the economics behind the numbers. We dig into those drivers instead of relying on surface-level figures or generic rules of thumb.

Our process blends careful normalization with sound methods to produce a fair, well-explained conclusion in full alignment with IRS guidance. The aim is fair market value, not blue-sky projections. Because assumptions are documented and tied to facts, our work carries weight in negotiations and in contested matters.

No Shortcuts

Reports from some business valuation companies lean on preset multipliers or cap-rate tables. Ours don’t.

IRS Revenue Ruling 59-60 cautions against predetermined formulas, standardized capitalization rates, and discount schedules pulled from theory rather than evidence.

Our reports are built to conform with these principles. We assess the company, its market, and its risk profile so the result mirrors what informed parties would agree to in an open market.

See Past the Numbers

Balance sheets and income statements are a starting point, not the answer. To reach a defendable conclusion, we first make the numbers representative of normal operations.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Balance sheet reality check: we align asset values with supportable market evidence before we run the math.
Earnings normalization: we adjust for one-offs, owner-specific items, and other irregulars so cash flows reflect ongoing economics.

Only after those steps do we perform the valuation. If discounts are relevant, they’re applied based on facts and engagement purpose, not on a template.

Sound Methods, Matched to Your Business

Valuation theory is broad; real businesses are specific. We select and apply methodologies that fit your company and the assignment’s purpose.

Core approaches include:

Income approach – values supported by earnings or cash flow
Market approach – reference to comparable transactions in the Fort Lauderdale area
Asset approach – net asset value at market levels

For Fort Lauderdale engagements, we document each step so your stakeholders can follow the reasoning and trust the result.

How Much Is My Fort Lauderdale Business Worth?

If you plan to sell your company, the only meaningful number is what a capable buyer would actually pay in today’s market. That is often different from any theoretical model.

Let us explain:

Owners sometimes try to price tomorrow’s possibilities into today’s deal. That’s a fault, because by doing so you are unlikely to find a buyer. Experienced acquirers typically value the business as it stands and expect to earn future gains through their own capital and execution. A clear, independent opinion helps align expectations and set a price the market will recognize.

Be mindful of survivorship bias as well. Headline wins like Tesla, Microsoft and Uber are visible, while the many that don’t scale or succeed long term rarely make the news. Professional investors price that risk, and a balanced valuation should too.

An illustration using a World War II airplane to demonstrate how survivorship bias can distort the perception of startup company valuations. — Survivorship bias: during WWII, analysts mapped damage on planes that returned and overlooked those that didn’t, leading to the wrong reinforcement plan. What happened was that they noted few, if any, projectile hits around the cockpit, engines and parts of the wings. Conclusion: these areas do not need reinforcement. That was wrong! The reality was that aircraft hit there had crashed and thus never became part of the analysis.
