Business Evaluation Systems review
A focused Windows valuation workflow with optional comparable data and Word reports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Business Evaluation Systems is ValuSource’s desktop software for business brokers preparing a broker’s opinion of value or most-probable-selling-price report for a small business. Its guided navigator moves through business questions, valuation methods, and deal terms, with DCF, post-sale cash flow, and ROI analysis available in the workflow. It is aimed at solo and small practices that need a structured way to prepare these reports, rather than a tool for producing a formal appraisal.
The valuation toolkit combines several perspectives rather than relying on a single method. Users can adjust the weighting of valuation methods, structure deal terms, and create customizable reports in Microsoft Word. Optional comparable transaction data can be incorporated through ValuSource Market Comps or BIZCOMPS, but those products are separate paid packages. That makes the software more suitable for brokers who want a guided valuation process and report output than for teams whose main requirement is included market-comparable data.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, the single-user annual subscription is $575 per user. The ValuSource Market Comps bundle is $895 per user annually, or $1,425 annually for a multi-user option; the BIZCOMPS bundle is $945 per user annually, or $1,525 annually for a multi-user option. The product is Windows-only and desktop-based, with email and phone support. Solo practitioners who need an organized broker-opinion workflow may find the package fit appropriate; firms seeking formal appraisal software, another operating system, or comparable data without an added package should consider alternatives.
