Database Information: View Summary | View Details

The Valuation Advisors' Lack of Marketability Discount Study™ was developed by Brian Pearson of Valuation Advisors, LLC (VAL), and compares the initial public offering (IPO) stock price to pre-IPO common stock, common stock option and convertible preferred stock prices. These market based transactions demonstrate the lack of marketability discount afforded by the pre-IPO instruments because of their illiquidity when issued by a privately held company.

This study is a Web-based tool used to quantify lack of marketability discounts. The study includes pre-IPO transactions from 1985 - present. In addition to using the study to determine and defend your business valuation discounts, it can also be used to develop industry information for the selection of companies for use in the market based valuation approach, and to analyze venture capital investments. You can search the database by specifying any of the following variables:

  • Individual four-digit SIC (Standard Industry Classification) code
  • Individual three and up to six-digit NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code
  • An industry (a range of SIC or NAICS codes)
  • Revenues
  • Assets
  • Operating income
  • Time period (year)
  • Common stock, common stock options or convertible preferred stock

Subscribers to the Valuation Advisors' Lack of Marketability Discount Study™ are granted access to all of the details in the database. Most companies (except partnership, foreign companies and mutual companies) that went public since 1995 and had pre-IPO transactions in their stock or options are included in the database.

With the ability to search all of the data online, you will have instant access to organized, detailed, market based data that provides accurate empirical support for your lack of marketability discounts. The study is updated monthly as new companies go public; therefore, the database continues to expand with new information. By subscribing to the Valuation Advisors' Lack of Marketability Discount Study™, you will acquire documentation to support your business valuation reports and make them more defense proof in litigation matters.
