What information do you need to get started?

To begin a business valuation in Oregon, we typically need:

• A description of the business, its operations, and ownership structure
• The intended purpose of the appraisal
• Any existing agreements such as buy-sell or partnership agreements

Do business appraisers in Oregon need to be licensed or certified?

Oregon does not require a state-issued license specifically for business appraisers. Licensing requirements under ORS 674 apply only to real estate appraisers, while business valuation professionals are typically credentialed through national bodies such as the AICPA or NACVA.

What documentation is typically needed for a business valuation in Oregon?

Oregon does not impose state-specific documentation mandates for business valuations. In practice, appraisers follow professional standards and IRS guidelines, which generally call for financial records, tax returns, and supporting operational information.

How current does a business valuation need to be for Oregon tax or legal purposes?

Oregon has no state-specific rules on the age of a business valuation for tax or legal use. Most engagements follow IRS guidelines, which generally require appraisals to be completed within 12 months of the relevant transaction or filing date.

What valuation methods are used for business appraisals in Oregon?

Oregon does not mandate specific valuation methods for business appraisals. Appraisers typically apply income, market, and asset-based approaches depending on the nature of the business and the purpose of the appraisal.

Are Oregon business valuations required to follow federal appraisal standards?

Oregon does not require business valuations to comply with USPAP under state law, as that mandate applies only to real estate appraisers in federally related transactions. However, following USPAP and other federal standards voluntarily strengthens the credibility and acceptance of a business valuation report.
