Chartered Business Valuators (CBV) are Canada's senior accredited professionals in business valuation.

The greater the risk of a challenge to a valuation conclusion, the greater the need for a recognized objective expert.

CBV's are members of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators (CICBV), an internationally respected organization that is focused on education, standards and professional development relevant to valuations for business, finance and litigation purposes.

A formal business valuation report prepared by a CBV provides a professional, independent and objective analysis of a business' assets and operations with the goal of establishing the fair market value of the whole or a share of the business.

A formal valuation is set out in a report that is drafted in accordance with professional standards laid down by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators .  The form and content of the valuation report are designed to meet the needs, and gain the acceptance of the Courts, Canada Revenue Agency, banks, accounting and legal professionals and other interested parties.
