Part A — Valuation Disclaimer Block (for the valuation results page)

Short version (on-screen, near the number)

Indicative estimate only — not an appraisal. This range is an automated estimate generated in part by AI from the information you provided and confirmed. It is not an appraisal, an offer, or a prediction of what a buyer will pay, and it should not be used for tax, lending, legal, estate, divorce, or other official purposes. Talk to a qualified valuation professional, CPA, or attorney before making decisions.

Full version (expander)

This indicative valuation range was generated automatically by Biz List using the tax return data and any financial information you uploaded and confirmed, general industry multiples, and assumptions built into our models, some of which use artificial intelligence. It has not been prepared, reviewed, or signed by a credentialed appraiser and does not follow the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) or any other professional valuation standard. Biz List has not audited or verified your information, inspected your business, or considered many factors that affect value, such as working capital, debt, real estate, equipment condition, contracts, customer concentration, owner dependence, legal or tax issues, deal structure, financing availability, and market conditions. Actual sale prices can be materially higher or lower than this range, and a sale may not be possible at all. Biz List is not a business broker, appraiser, or financial advisor, and this range is not legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice. Your use of this estimate is subject to the Biz List Terms of Service.

Financing readiness tool companion line

Planning tool only — not a loan approval. Your readiness score is an educational estimate. It is not a loan application, pre-qualification, or credit decision, and Biz List is not a lender. Biz List is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Lenders use their own criteria.

Part B — Agreement Checkpoint Map (one page)
