Business Valuation & Bankability Advisory

You know what your home is worth. Do you know what your business is worth?

For most owners, their business represents years of work and the largest part of their personal wealth — yet they've never had a real, objective number for it. Catalis helps owners of privately held businesses understand what their company is actually worth to the market, how a buyer or lender would evaluate it, and what could be done to strengthen that value.

Every valuation is a technical document — prepared by a team with decades of business and administrative expertise.

  • Institutional-quality valuation made accessible through professional analysis, leveraging technology, without enterprise pricing.

  • Analysis grounded in real transaction experience with data collection, not just formulas or automated calculators.

  • Work prepared using the same disciplined financial methods and professional standards recognized across the business valuation community.

  • Experience extends to due diligence, document preparation, annual reports, corporate compliance and housekeeping. The details around a valuation get the same rigor as the analysis itself.

Know Your Value.

More Than a Valuation Number

Every owner has a number in their head. It is usually built on effort, sentiment, or a rumor about what a competitor sold for, not on how a buyer, lender, or the market would actually evaluate the business. That gap is where deals stall, financing gets declined, and decisions get made on the wrong information.

You don't need to be ready to sell. Many owners begin the process years before a transaction — giving themselves time to improve performance, reduce risk, and prepare for a stronger outcome.

Objective, professional-grade insight shouldn't be reserved for the largest companies — it's why Catalis was built to be accessible to businesses of every size.

A Catalis analysis can help you understand

  • A reasonable valuation range
  • Normalized earnings and cash flow
  • How buyers and lenders would view the business
  • Debt capacity and financing feasibility
  • Risks that may reduce value
  • Opportunities to strengthen enterprise value
  • Readiness for a future transaction

A valuation may be useful when you're

  • Preparing for retirement or succession
  • Considering a future sale
  • Evaluating an unsolicited offer
  • Seeking financing or recapitalization
  • Planning a partner or shareholder buyout
  • Pursuing an acquisition or growth strategy
  • Working to increase the value of your company

How long does a valuation take?

7 to 10 business days.

Will this hold up with a bank, buyer, or in a dispute?

Yes. The analysis is built using disciplined financial methods and professional practices recognized within the business valuation community, informed by real transaction experience rather than formulas alone.
