What Types of Business Valuation Do We Appraise in Nevada?

Our appraisers evaluate a broad range of business types and ownership interests across Nevada's diverse economic sectors, including:

  • Sole proprietorships and single-owner businesses
  • Limited liability companies (LLCs) and multi-member LLCs
  • S-corporations and C-corporations
  • General and limited partnerships
  • Fractional and minority ownership interests
  • Professional practices including medical, dental, and legal firms
  • Hospitality and gaming-related business interests
  • Mining, energy, and natural resource companies

Nevada's regulatory environment under NRS Chapter 144 requires that business interests held in estates be valued at fair market value by qualified CPAs or valuation experts, and our appraisers meet that standard. For transactions involving gift tax, IRA conversions, or charitable donations, our reports are prepared in accordance with IRS requirements and ASA Business Valuation Standards, including proper documentation of discounts, premiums, and valuation methodology.

  5. Taking on items other appraisers had already turned downMentioned in 14 reviews

Across 80+ published AppraiseItNow reviews the picture is consistent: every one is from a client who paid us for an appraisal, and the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.

  • Responsive, professional, first class deliverables -- especially considering that that the appraised assets are extremely complex financial assets with little by way of comps. The deliverable satisfied my accountants and advisers as being more than adequate to support the valuation needed to complete a conversion to a Roth IRA

  • Joe and Aron were extremely impressive - the entire process went very smoothly. They were always quick to respond to any questions I had and could not have been more helpful. They were aware of some tight time restrictions I had and made sure I received my reports in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions on Nevada Business Valuations

What should a credible Nevada business valuation report state?

The standard of value, the premise of value, the effective date, the exact interest being valued, and every key assumption and information source. Professional standards from USPAP, the AICPA, ASA, and NACVA all require these identifications, and a report that presents a number without them will not hold up to scrutiny.

Are fair market value and investment value the same number?

No, and confusing them is a frequent and costly error. Fair market value is the price between a hypothetical willing buyer and seller under no compulsion, while investment value reflects worth to a particular buyer including synergies. Selecting the wrong basis of value for a Nevada engagement can swing the conclusion substantially.

Does Nevada tax a business interest passing through an estate?

No. Nevada repealed its former estate tax and has no inheritance tax, so there is no state-level exemption amount or rate schedule to plan around. Valuation requirements for Nevada estates holding company interests come from federal estate tax rules and probate administration, both of which rest on fair market value.

Who pays Nevada personal property tax on financed business equipment?

The business in possession, not the lender. Under NRS 361.245, property subject to a security interest is deemed the property of the possessor for tax purposes, so a company using financed machinery lists and pays tax on it even though a bank holds title. Asset schedules behind a Nevada valuation should reflect that treatment.

What happens if a Nevada business skips its property declaration?

The assessor can estimate the value and add penalties. Nevada ties assessment to the July 1 lien date, and NRS 361.265 requires a signed statement listing all taxable personal property owned, possessed, or controlled. Failing to provide it invites an estimated assessment, and contesting an estimate costs more than filing a clean, well-supported declaration.
