About Our Founder- Salvatore Urso

Salvatore Urso has been selling and valuating small, closely held businesses since 2005. His extensive transaction experience as a business broker, along with his keen understanding of business valuation theory gained through his successful course work at the Institute of Business Appraisers (IBA), have provided an invaluable framework for rendering accurate business valuations that can be explained to, and understood by, a layperson; this is an important attribute that is invaluable in contentious situations, especially those that are settled in mediation or in a court of law.

Mr. Urso has personally interviewed over 800 business owners, performed over 600 business valuations, and sold over 45 companies (see engagement areas listed below). In addition, he has over 25 years of experience in operating multiple businesses. His practical business experience is a key component to providing an accurate, defendable Opinion of Value which, as acknowledged by appraisal societies, must include professional judgment, experience and opinion.

Attorneys, CPAs, SBA lenders, and financial advisors across the United States often refer their clients to his firm for matters involving bankruptcy, divorce, partner disputes, estate planning, gift tax, business mergers and acquisitions, and general business consulting.

Mr. Urso has been called upon and qualified to testify as an expert witness in court cases involving business valuations.

IMPORTANT: Most engagements are settled in pre-mediation, mediation or after depositions.

Aside from the aforementioned companies, Mr. Urso co-founded two family businesses and is a managing member in the Tampa based Comfort Keepers home health agency. He has personally invested in, bought, managed and sold investment properties and businesses for over two decades. His fundamental recipe is to combine integrity, honesty, experience and attention to detail such that all parties involved experience a win-win business transaction.
