Certified Business Valuation in Utah
When the number has to hold up, to an SBA lender, a judge, the IRS, or a buyer’s CPA, you need a certified valuation, not a calculator estimate. Zion Business Brokers provides certified business valuations and USPAP-compliant machinery and equipment appraisals for Utah business owners, attorneys, and lenders.
Built on Real Deals
Why a broker’s valuation is different
CPA firms value businesses from spreadsheets. We value them from the market. Zion Business Brokers has closed $20M+ in Utah transactions, so our multiples come from businesses that actually sold here, not national databases. It's also why our list-to-sale ratio is 96%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what Utah owners, attorneys, and lenders ask us most.
How much does a certified business valuation cost in Utah?
It depends on the size of the business and why you need the report. Call (385) 985-7216 for a quote.
How long does it take?
Typically 1–2 weeks from the time we have your financials.
What's the difference between the free valuation and a certified one?
The free valuation is a market-based estimate for owners exploring a sale. A certified valuation is a documented, defensible report for legal, lending, and tax purposes.
Do you appraise equipment separately?
Yes. USPAP machinery and equipment appraisals are available standalone or with a business valuation.
Thinking of selling instead?
If the valuation is the first step toward an exit, start with our free, confidential seller consultation. No upfront fees, and you only pay if your business sells.

Know Your Worth Before You Sell
Our Services: Guiding You Every Step of the Way
As a business owner, knowing your company’s market value is of utmost importance when it comes time to sell your business. But knowing how much your company is worth can also be useful for other reasons—life insurance policies, estate planning with your financial advisor, or obtaining a loan, for example. Knowing the true value of your business is important, as it can make up a large part of your net worth as a business owner.

When You Need a Certified Valuation
Partner buyouts and shareholder disputes. SBA 7(a) loan requirements. Divorce proceedings. Estate and gift tax planning. Converting to an ESOP. Buy-sell agreements. Litigation support. If any of those are on your plate, a calculator estimate won’t cut it.
What you get is a defensible written report: financial recasting (SDE and EBITDA with documented add-backs), market comps from actual Utah transactions, asset and income approaches where appropriate, and a valuation conclusion you can hand to a lender or opposing counsel.
On-site, USPAP-compliant machinery and equipment appraisals for Utah businesses. Lender-ready reports for SBA loans, buying or selling a business, partner buyouts, and legal disputes.
Only exploring a sale? You probably don’t need a certified report yet. Start with our free, confidential valuation for a market-based number, and upgrade to a certified report when a lender, attorney, or the IRS needs one.
* Pricing depends on the size of the business and the purpose of the report. Call (385) 985-7216 for a quote.
Typical turnaround: 1–2 weeks.
