Valuation & ModelingBusiness Valuation Resources' transaction database (formerly Pratt's Stats): detailed financials on 29,300+ acquired private companies with up to 149 data points per deal, including six valuation multiples and thirteen financial ratios, used by appraisers, brokers, and buyers for comparable-sale analysis.
- Pricing
- Custom pricing, Subscription pricing is not published; individual, team, and firm-wide platform subscriptions are quoted on contact, and a 24-hour Day Pass exists for single-engagement needs (bvresources.com, July 2026).
- Best For

- Roadmap Stages
- 6. Screen & Value
Pros
- Among the deepest private-transaction datasets available, with far more data points per deal than broker-reported comp sets
- Data sourcing and verification process is documented and discussed in searcher communities
- Day Pass option fits one-off deal analysis without an annual commitment
Cons
- No published pricing; subscriptions are quoted and generally priced for professionals rather than individual searchers
- Overkill for typical sub-$1M Main Street screening, where SBA-financed comps answer the question for $99
- The interface and workflow assume valuation-professional context
What Searchers Say
The professional standard for private-company transaction comps, referenced across the valuation field and in searcher-community threads about where reliable multiples come from. The practical searcher question is cost-benefit versus cheaper SBA-only comp tools, not data quality.
