The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides professional business valuation appraisal services throughout New Mexico, supporting clients across a wide range of purposes including charitable donations, mergers and acquisitions, gift tax compliance, and IRA conversions. New Mexico's economy spans energy production, tourism, agriculture, and a growing bioscience sector, meaning business valuations here must account for industry-specific factors, intangible assets like goodwill and customer lists, and the unique market dynamics of both urban centers like Albuquerque and Santa Fe and rural communities across the state. Our credentialed appraisers apply income, market, and asset-based approaches to deliver accurate, well-supported valuations that meet IRS standards, including Revenue Ruling 59-60 for fair market value determinations.
Whether you need an in-person review of business assets or a fully remote appraisal process, AppraiseItNow accommodates both onsite and online engagements across New Mexico. Our appraisers hold recognized credentials including ABV, CVA, ASA, and CBA designations, ensuring every report can withstand scrutiny from the IRS, courts, and financial institutions. Learn more about our full range of business valuation appraisal services and how we tailor each engagement to the specific purpose and industry context of your business. We offer Fair Market Value (FMV) appraisals for various intended uses.
AppraiseItNow appraises a broad spectrum of business types and ownership interests across New Mexico, covering entities of all sizes and structures. Our appraisers are experienced with businesses in the state's key industries, from oil and gas operations in the Permian Basin to hospitality and arts-related enterprises in Santa Fe and Taos. Business types and interests we commonly appraise include:
For more narrowly scoped engagements, we also appraise specific business assets such as goodwill, customer lists, patents, and proprietary processes that may not appear on a company's balance sheet but carry significant value. These intangible asset valuations are especially relevant for gift tax filings, IRA conversions, and M&A due diligence in New Mexico's knowledge-driven and energy sectors.
AppraiseItNow serves business owners, CPAs, estate attorneys, financial advisors, and individual investors throughout New Mexico who need credentialed, IRS-compliant business valuations for tax planning, transactional, or legal purposes. Whether you are a small business owner in Albuquerque preparing for a sale, an estate attorney in Santa Fe managing a probate matter, or an energy company in Hobbs navigating an acquisition, our team is equipped to deliver the accurate, defensible valuations your situation requires.
What clients say we are known for
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
Business Valuation Appraisal for IRA Conversion
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.

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Equitably, as community property. New Mexico classifies most property acquired during marriage as community property, but courts divide it in a manner that is equitable under the circumstances rather than forcing a strict item-by-item 50/50 split. A valuation report supports that allocation by establishing what the business interest is actually worth.
No. Professional standards restrict rules of thumb to secondary reasonableness checks because they ignore earnings quality, growth prospects, asset mix, and company-specific risk. A supportable conclusion analyzes the actual financial statements, industry conditions, and comparable transactions rather than applying a generic multiple to revenue.
The company's history and outlook, financial condition, dividend-paying capacity, goodwill and intangibles, prior sales of the interest, and comparable company transactions. IRS Business Valuation Guidelines require appraisers to analyze and document each of these in workpapers, which is why two businesses with identical earnings can merit very different values.
Starting with 2025 tax years, yes: New Mexico allows a special deduction of up to 40% of $1 million of gain from the sale of a New Mexico business, on top of an increased general net capital gain deduction. The provision makes documented valuation and allocation work directly relevant to how much of a sale price escapes state income tax.
As personal property. The Limited Liability Company Act, Section 53-19-31, defines a membership interest to include both the economic right to distributions and the governance rights to participate in management. The two components can be valued and transferred differently, which shapes how LLC stakes are appraised and divided in New Mexico probate and divorce.
