What this is, and isn’t
A MonoBridge report is an estimate of value for planning, with a priced plan to raise it. It isn’t a formal appraisal, and it says so on every cover.
What a MonoBridge report is
An estimate of what your business is worth today, built from your own numbers and research on your industry, together with a priced plan to make it worth more. Its job is to help you decide what to work on, in what order, and to show a year later what the work was worth.
It is
- An estimate of value for planning and running the business
- A priced plan: every move carries the dollars it is worth
- Fully disclosed: every figure traces to an input and its source
- Repeatable: the same inputs give the same report
- Built so your accountant, banker or a buyer’s analyst can test it
It is not
- A formal appraisal
- A fairness opinion
- An offer, or a promise of a price
- A forecast of what any one buyer will pay
- A substitute for legal, tax or accounting advice
Good uses
- Deciding what to work onWhich moves add the most value soonest, and what each is worth.
- Tracking the workA yearly re-run on the same engine shows what moved the value and why.
- Preparing for conversationsWith a partner, a lender, an advisor or a buyer: you see both sides of each number before anyone else does.
- Planning a sale years outGains count once they show up in trailing results, so starting early is worth money.
When you need a formal appraisal
Some situations require a credentialed appraiser working to professional appraisal standards: an estate or gift, a divorce, a buy-sell dispute, litigation, a tax filing, or a lender’s loan file. A MonoBridge report isn’t for those. Because its method and inputs are disclosed in full, an appraiser can check it quickly, but it doesn’t replace the appraisal.
Its limits, plainly
- It is only as good as the inputs. Unconfirmed numbers are labelled, and the range shows how much they matter.
- It values the business as it is run and documented today; a buyer with plans of their own may see it differently, and the report shows the main ways they would.
- The plan’s dollars are the engine’s arithmetic under the same assumptions as the valuation. They are realized only when the results appear in trailing financials.
