The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides independent valuations of LLC interests for estate tax filings, gift tax planning, IRA conversions, divorce, buy-sell agreement funding, and charitable contribution substantiation, as part of our business valuation services.
LLC structures
We appraise full and partial membership interests across the common LLC forms and the industries they operate in:
Purposes we serve
Our LLC valuation engagements most commonly support the following tax, legal, and transaction needs:
What we work from
LLC valuations are built from the entity-level documentation the client or their advisors already hold:
We appraise LLC interests across structures and industries, and we scope every engagement to the specific economic rights, voting rights, and transfer restrictions attached to the interest being valued.
Control
We handle both controlling and non-controlling membership interests, applying discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability where the facts support them.
Entity profile
A single-asset real estate holding entity and a multi-member operating company with complex distributions call for different methods, and our appraisers tailor the approach to the facts of the specific interest.
Who reviews it
Our appraisers deliver a credible, well-documented conclusion of value because the report is going to be read by the IRS, a court, or the other side of a transaction.
We serve estate attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, and business advisors who need a qualified appraisal for a client matter, and individual LLC members, family business owners, and fiduciaries facing a tax event, an ownership transition, or a legal proceeding.
Professionals
Advisors engage us when a client's estate filing, gift plan, divorce, or buy-sell agreement needs an LLC interest valued by someone independent of the parties.
Members and fiduciaries
Individual LLC members, family business owners, and fiduciaries come to us directly when a tax event, an ownership transition, or a legal proceeding puts a value on the membership interest.
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.

Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Through three recognized approaches: income (discounted cash flow or capitalization of earnings), market (comparison to private transactions and guideline companies using revenue, EBITDA, or SDE multiples from databases such as DealStats and PitchBook), and asset-based (net assets minus liabilities). The weighting depends on the company's earnings profile and the purpose of the appraisal.
Not automatically. Fixed-price clauses control transfers among members, but courts and the IRS can disregard stale or non-arm's-length pricing for tax, divorce, and litigation purposes. When the triggering event requires market-based evidence, an independent appraisal is still needed.
Because reported figures often differ from economic earnings. We adjust for owner compensation, personal expenses run through the business, one-time legal or litigation items, and nonrecurring revenue so multiples and projections apply to a realistic earnings base; skipping this step materially misstates value.
Gift tax Form 709, generally due April 15 of the year after the gift, and estate tax Form 706, generally due nine months after death with a six-month extension available. These valuations must support fair market value under the IRS framework, which specifically references Revenue Ruling 59-60.
SDE-based multiples fit smaller owner-operated companies; EBITDA-based multiples fit larger or professionally managed firms. Public-company multiples, private transaction data, and industry deal databases are not interchangeable either, since control, liquidity, and growth assumptions differ, and mismatching them creates major distortions.
