Simple409A

Tower59 was founded on the belief that professional services are over-priced and inefficiently positioned for the growing companies they serve. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand that the needs of early- and mid-stage companies differ greatly from those of larger, more established companies. Since the inception of the IRC 409A regulations in 2005, a lack of competition has allowed a cottage industry to overcharge entrepreneurs for an independent valuation of their company’s shares. We launched Simple409A to better serve the niche customer that is a growing company. Through a mix of automation, workflow optimization, a distributed US-based workforce, and volume, we are able to significantly reduce the cost of a 409A valuation. Our IRC 409A qualified and experienced business appraisers have worked with hundreds of clients from across the nation and around the world to perform thousands of valuations. Ranging in size from a company weeks after inception to mature, decades old businesses, the clients of Simple409A have received reliable 409A valuations for their growing companies. The reports delivered have been reviewed by auditors, company boards of directors and legal counsel, and utilize the industry standard methods of the AICPA. It is important to have a professional, independent opinion for the fair market value of your company and stock options, but it does not have to cost a fortune. Our firm’s sophisticated system for efficiently processing 409A valuations streamlines the process for you and saves you money by leveraging highly qualified US-based experts without the overhead of large firms. At Simple409A, your valuation is independently reviewed by qualified professionals who meet the IRC 409A regulations. Rather than putting your company at risk by attempting the valuation yourself or outsourcing overseas, let Simple409A provide your company with an accurate, qualified, and affordable valuation.
