About us
For over 25 years, GCF Valuation has led the SBA lending community with expertise and guidance in business valuations. Our founders were called upon by the SBA in 2003 to assist in defining and writing the SOP's for the Small Business Administration 7A loan program specific to business valuations. Our level of experience, knowledge, and service is the reason why SBA Lenders choose GCF to provide business valuations for their underwriting and lending process. Our team of accredited appraisers deliver unparalleled client service and essentially are another set of eyes during the underwriting and loan approval process. GCF's founders are the Firm's Senior Appraisers and remain the last checkpoint on each valuation that we complete. GCF's start in business valuation began by serving the Business Brokerage community. Brokers rely on GCF's valuation expertise to assure their client's business goes to market at the right price. With a network of over 500 business brokers and partnerships with the leading brokerage franchises, GCF has been a proud supporter and advocate for this very important niche of the small business transaction market.
