About Spardata
Since their founding over two decades ago, SPARDATA has performed over 30,000 valuations.
If your business is privately-held, they’ll know how to value it. Their team of expert business valuation analysts holds credentials from the industry-leading National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts and have undergone rigorous training in all valuation methodologies. They do one thing and they do it theyll: help you understand the value of your business.
Almost every other business valuation firm is a small department of a larger accounting or law firm. SPARDATA exists solely to help you understand the value of your business. They sell no other products or services and have no hidden agenda. They happily work with you and your advisors with a team approach, but when it comes to their work they are completely objective. Whether you’re selling your business or preparing to report to the IRS, outside eyes will not accept subjective opinions. They come in as needed to provide an independent look at your business and interpret it in the clearest and fairest way they can.
Recent legislation (including Sec. 6695A of the Pension Protection Act) and industry pronouncements (such as the AICPA’s Statement on Standards for Valuation Services) makes it essential for business valuators to be credentialed by a recognized industry organization. Every SPARDATA valuator has earned a designation, is familiar with the latest valuation theory and practice, and applies their knowledge in every engagement.

Business Valuations
A privately-owned business is often its owner’s most valuable asset. But did you know most owners misjudge the value of their company by 58.9%? (A 2010 study* found just one in ten owners accurately estimated (within 5%) their company’s value; the median error was 58.9%; one guess was off by 1,000%!
Most owners use ‘rules of thumb’ to value their business. That’s a bad idea. It is true that rules of thumb are easy to use and cost nothing, but rules of thumb are always wrong! Their flaw is they assume one businesses is identical to every other business in that industry – which is clearly ridiculous since every business is as unique as a fingerprint. A business owner’s buy/sell, key person, succession planning, retirement planning etc. should rest on solid facts (that is, a proper valuation), not on something as flimsy as rules of thumb.
A good valuation requires an appraiser who understands your business and takes the time to prepare it. (It takes 19 steps to prepare an accurate valuation.) Download one of SPARDATA’s sample valuations to see what a good one looks like.
