Why Certified
Hyperion's Certified Business Valuations are designed for decision-makers who need credibility, speed, and compliance in one place. Each appraisal is independently developed by certified valuation analysts using methodologies accepted by the IRS, AICPA, USPAP, NACVA, and SBA.
Whether you're preparing for a transaction, securing financing, supporting a shareholder agreement, or meeting regulatory requirements, our certified valuations provide a defensible foundation for strategic decisions. Backed by Hyperion's proprietary dataset of private-company financials and industry benchmarks, every valuation reflects current market realities and peer-level performance—not outdated comps or public proxies.
Hyperion Methodology
Every Certified Business Valuation is prepared under recognized professional standards:
- IRS Revenue Ruling 59-60 – Valuation for tax purposes
- USPAP – Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
- AICPA SSVS No. 1 – Statement on Standards for Valuation Services
- NACVA and SBA guidelines – For business appraisal reporting
All reports are reviewed for internal consistency, defensibility, and clarity of conclusion, ensuring they can be relied upon by regulators, financial institutions, and legal counsel.
Our process streamlines what has traditionally taken months into a structured, digital-first workflow, with direct integrations into leading account platforms, and the ability to ingest IRS tax forms and financial documents to eliminate manual data entry.
