How the number gets built
Weighted 50/50. Not a rule of thumb.
Bridge’s certified valuations weight a Market Approach, using Precedent Transactions Analysis pulled from BVR DealStats by NAICS code over the trailing five years, against an Income Approach chosen to fit your business. The framework is grounded in AICPA guidance and the eight factors of IRS Revenue Ruling 59-60.

Common questions
What owners actually ask.
How is this different from an online estimate?
An online estimate uses general industry data. A certified valuation applies BVR DealStats and an income approach specific to your financials, signed by a credentialed valuator.
What information do I need to provide?
Recent financial statements, a debt schedule, and basic details about your business. Your advisor walks you through exactly what’s needed.
Will banks and SBA lenders actually accept this?
Yes. Bridge’s certified valuations are SBA lender-accepted and ABV-credentialed. Existing lender partners already send 5 to 10 requests a month.
Which one do I actually need?
Start with the free estimate. If a bank needs a certified number, get the Certified Valuation. Want a growth roadmap instead? See the Diagnostic Report under Scale.
