Who prepares the appraisal report?
Our appraisal reports are prepared by credentialed professionals with expertise in business valuation methodology and IRS compliance requirements. Each report is reviewed for accuracy and adherence to USPAP standards before delivery.
Are there any Kansas-specific regulations for Business Valuation appraisals?
Business valuation appraisals in Kansas are primarily governed by federal standards such as IRS qualified appraisal requirements rather than a separate state regulatory framework. Kansas does apply fair market value standards under K.S.A. 79-503a for property tax purposes, but going-concern and intangible asset valuations follow nationally recognized professional standards.
Do you prepare appraisals for IRS Form 8283 (Noncash Charitable Contributions)?
Yes, we prepare qualified appraisals that support IRS Form 8283 filings for noncash charitable contributions, including donated business interests. Our reports are structured to meet IRS requirements for qualified appraisals and qualified appraisers.

What information do you need to get started?
To begin a business valuation engagement, we typically need financial statements for the past three to five years, tax returns, ownership structure details, and a description of the purpose of the appraisal. Additional documents may be requested depending on the nature and complexity of the business.
Will my appraisal be accepted by the IRS, insurers, or courts in Kansas?
Our appraisals are prepared to meet the standards required by the IRS, financial institutions, and Kansas courts. USPAP compliance and thorough documentation of methodology and conclusions support acceptance across these contexts.
How does Kansas's agriculture sector affect business valuations?
Agriculture is a significant part of the Kansas economy, and businesses tied to farming, agribusiness, or rural land can carry unique valuation considerations. We account for sector-specific factors, including commodity exposure and asset composition, when valuing agriculture-related business interests.
What valuation methodologies are used for Kansas business appraisals?
We apply recognized approaches including the income approach, market approach, and asset-based approach, selecting the most appropriate method based on the business type and appraisal purpose. For businesses with significant tangible assets, such as commercial or industrial operations, asset-based methods often play a central role.
Do you appraise oil and gas business interests in Kansas?
Yes, we appraise oil and gas business interests, which are subject to fair market value standards under Kansas law. These valuations require careful analysis of reserve values, production income, and market conditions specific to the energy sector.
What credentials should I look for in a Kansas business appraiser?
For most purposes, including IRS submissions, you should work with an appraiser who holds a recognized business valuation credential such as the ASA, ABV, or CVA designation and who prepares reports in compliance with USPAP. AppraiseItNow's team meets these professional standards.
