The purpose decides the work
Business sale and acquisition support starts at $1,500 at HBT, and cash flow or financial analysis at $750. What the work involves depends entirely on why the number is needed, so that is the first question rather than the last.
A figure for an internal decision is a different exercise from one that has to withstand scrutiny in a shareholder dispute or a matrimonial matter. Where the purpose requires a formal valuation report from a designated business valuator, we say so rather than stretching the engagement to fit.

An internal number for a sale, a buyout or a plan. The lighter engagement.
