Business Brokers have relied on BESWeb and its PC-based predecessor for over twenty years. Why?

BESWeb provides a quick and easy way to value a business in less than 45 minutes with no financial/valuation background necessary.
BESWeb allows them to charge $500 to $1000 per evaluation (33+ page reports). Some brokers give these reports to clients at no charge as a listing incentive.
BESWeb helps them build credibility with both sellers and buyers by being able to quickly offer comprehensive business evaluations.
BESWeb helps them sell businesses for higher prices because they have solid and unbiased documentation that buyers respect.

BESWeb allows the broker to value a small business by:

Answering questions about the business (print the questionnaire to give to the owner.)
Review and assign weights to the evaluation methods.
Structure the terms of the deal.
Print the detailed and comprehensive 33+ page, customizable report in Microsoft® Word.

A step-by-step navigator leads you through the valuation process, backed up by detailed help files and an introductory video. BESWeb also contains an expanded post-sale cash flow analysis, a return on investment analysis and a Discounted Cash Flow module that makes appraising rapidly growing businesses more accurate. You are able to produce a comprehensive report on a small business without being a financial professional.

BESWeb: A RICH HISTORY AND LONG LEGACY

Constantly improved and updated, BESWeb is based on the same product built over two decades ago by George Abraham. Over 32 years, George Abraham valued more than 12,000 companies, both small and large. Mr. Abraham was one of the first to recognize that it was possible to create software for business brokers to quickly and accurately value businesses.

George Abraham on the advantages of a valuation to the seller:

Confidence of Value
Knowing if or when to sell
Establishes Strengths and Weaknesses
Establishes the Seller's Tax situation
Seller's Appraisal, not the Bank's
Less Negotiating with the Buyer
Less Negotiating with the Buyer's Advisors
Keeps the Advisors from playing Appraiser

BESWeb does not provide a formal appraisal. Business Brokers who require a formal appraisal should review the Professional Business Appraisers products.

"I use BESWeb because in my opinion it’s always accurate, and I use it because it always generates a higher price for me than other brokers get using just rules of thumb."

Glenn Haddad, President,
Global Business Investments

"Business owners put their heart and soul into building a business, and sometimes they have unrealistic expectations about how much it can be sold for. BESWeb helps me document, propose, and convince owners of a sensible price. That's often the first step in the process."

David Barr, President,
Global Business Investments

Not only do we provide valuation software to valuation professionals, but we also provide data to valuation professionals that rely on Excel to perform their valuation analysis. How Is A Professional Valuation Different: The Online Business Valuation service is a great first step in understanding the business value but it is not a professional appraisal. A professional valuation is performed based on valuation standards and incorporates a significantly larger scope of work than provided by the Online Business Valuation Service. A professional valuation includes things such as determining the appropriate standard of value, making normalizing adjustments to financial statements, interviewing company management, performing financial statement analysis and benchmarks, analyzing company risk and potential future earnings, determining the most appropriate valuation methods, potentially incorporating discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability or a control premium. Because the significantly larger scope of a professional appraisal, the value you obtain from a professional appraisal could potentially be significantly different than the estimate from the Online Business Valuation report.
