ValuSource Market Comps is the largest and most useful collection of transaction data for small to medium businesses. It is an invaluable resource for the Market Approach to valuation of privately held businesses.  Data is updated quarterly.

Overview

The premier data source for the Market Approach, ValuSource Market Comps provides more and better transaction data:

With ValuSource Market Comps, you have not only a large number of comparables across a large number of SIC / NACIS codes, but for the first time you will have access to the expanded data as well. Besides Price/Sales, Price/EBT, SIC, NAICS, Location, Annual Gross, Annual Earnings, Owner’s Comp, Sales Price, Business Description, sale date, and geographic area, there are fifteen asset fields (for one year) and sixteen income statement fields (for three years). The expanded data does not exist for every transaction, but there is a significant amount of expanded data and it’s growing every month.

You will also receive the ValuSource Market Comps Analyzer, an Excel template that imports your selected data and analyzes that data. With this information, the appraiser can objectively place the subject business in the market.
