Bad for Business: Decreasing Demand is Expected to Contribute to the Industry's Decline

Business Valuation Firms

Operators in the Business Valuation Firms industry, also called appraisers, quantify the financial worth of companies of various sizes, from small proprietorships to large multinational corporations. Over the past five years, the number of IPOs and business bankruptcies declined (bankruptcies usually necessitate a business valuation firm to help with restructuring), providing a smaller pool of contracts for the industry. Additionally, the ongoing long-term trend of industry consolidation and competition from new business valuation software will keep pricing competition significant between industry operators. However, industry operators will likely benefit from an improving investment environment and rising corporate profit. Niche services will also help the industry contend with large accounting and law firms which are increasingly offering valuation services in-house for convenience and cost savings.

Companies in this industry estimate the value of an owner’s interest in a business. Business valuation firms are used to determine how much an entity is willing to pay to buy a business or receive to sell a business. Business valuation can also be used for other legal and business purposes.
