How much is my Louisville business worth?
Business valuations depend on many factors including revenue, profitability, industry, growth trends, location, and market conditions. Our confidential valuation gives you an accurate, data-driven estimate of your business’s fair market value — with no cost and no obligation.

Will my employees and customers find out my business is being valued?
Not if you work with CGK. Confidentiality is at the core of everything we do. We use blind listings that don’t reveal your business name, require NDAs before sharing details, and carefully control the flow of information. Your employees, customers, and competitors won’t know until you’re ready to tell them.
What does a business valuation expert charge to sell my business?
Valuation costs depend on the scope of work. We offer complimentary preliminary consultations for business owners exploring their options. For a comprehensive, written valuation report, fees vary based on the size and complexity of your business. We’ll discuss pricing upfront so there are no surprises.
Do I need to have my financial records organized before contacting you?
It helps, but it’s not required to get started. We can guide you through the financial preparation process during our initial consultation. Having clean books and at least 3 years of tax returns will help maximize your sale price.
