What’s It Worth?” Isn’t the Only Question You’re Asking.
We know what’s really keeping you up at night—here’s how we help.
Am I undervaluing what i've built?
You might be. We often uncover value drivers founders overlook—operational strengths, recurring revenue models, or strategic synergies that change the game. We help you see the full picture.
What if i'm not ready to sell yet?
You don’t have to be. Valuation isn’t just about today—it’s about planning. Knowing your number now helps you take control of the next 12, 24, or 36 months with purpose.
i got a number from someone else...but it didn't feel right.
Most quick valuations are generic. ABS builds context into every analysis. We dig into what makes your business unique—and what the right buyer would pay.
Can this stay completely confidential?
Yes. Everything we do is discreet. No information is shared without your explicit approval. You stay in full control.
What’s keeping you from knowing the number?
Let’s talk through it—confidentially, and with no pressure.

FAQs
Straight answers, before you decide.
What if I’m not ready to sell—should I still get a valuation?
A: Absolutely. Most clients we work with aren’t ready to sell right away. A valuation is about preparing—not rushing. It gives you clarity on where you stand and how to grow your company’s equity over time.
How accurate is your valuation?
A: Our valuations are built from industry methodologies, actual market data, buyer behavior, and 35+ years of deal experience—not just formulas. We don’t claim to predict the future, but we do provide a realistic, strategically informed valuation range grounded in real-world outcomes.
What industries do you specialize in?
A: While we’ve advised across dozens of industries, we specialize in lower middle-market businesses with $500K–$10MM+ EBITDA—particularly in B2B services, logistics, construction, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, franchise systems, and tech-enabled companies.
Is the process confidential?
A: Yes. 100% of our valuation work is handled discreetly. We don’t share your information with anyone—ever—unless you explicitly request it.
How long does the valuation process take?
A: Most standard valuations are completed within 2–3 weeks. For more complex scenarios or limited documentation, the timeline may extend to 6–8 weeks. Need it sooner? Expedited options are available upon request.
What does a valuation cost?
A: Our valuation services are customized based on scope, depth, and urgency. We’ll walk you through the options and provide a flat-rate quote—no surprises, no hidden fees.
Do I have to move forward with ABS after the valuation?
A: No. There’s no obligation to continue into a sale or exit advisory engagement. Many clients use our valuation for planning purposes, lender discussions, internal succession, or long-term succession strategy.
