Many SBA-backed business acquisitions require an independent business valuation from a qualified source before the loan can close. These valuations follow standardized SBA requirements, and lenders depend on appraisers who can deliver compliant, timely reports that keep deals on schedule.
The firms ranked here perform SBA-compliant valuations for buyers, sellers, and lenders. Speed and lender acceptance matter in this category — a technically sound report that arrives late can still kill a closing.

Methodology
Each firm receives a score out of 100 built from five weighted components: verified client reviews (30%), professional credentials such as ASA, CVA, ABV, CFA, and MAFF (25%), the depth of services offered relative to the category (20%), the firm's operational scale (15%), and years in business (10%).
The score is refreshed whenever a review is approved or firm data changes, and overall ranks are recomputed on a schedule so movement reflects real changes, not noise. Within a category or service, we re-rank using the same score restricted to firms that actually offer that work.
Rankings cannot be purchased. Featured placement in the directory is clearly labeled and never affects rank.
