PEERCOMPS, INC.
LUTZ, FLORIDA

PeerComps, Inc., incorporated on January 14, 2009, under the filing number P09000004131 in Hillsborough County, Florida, is a distinguished business valuation service specializing in comprehensive analysis for small to mid-market enterprises. Located at 17826 N. US Highway 41, LUTZ, FL, the company primarily operates through its website, peercomps.com. PeerComps was established by GCF Valuation, a full-service firm based in Tampa, Florida. The partnership leverages over 50 years of collective experience across investment banking, corporate development, and business valuation to support mergers & acquisitions, lending, estate planning, Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), divorce proceedings, and litigation needs. The service is renowned for its versatile valuation tool that utilizes three primary methods: the Asset Approach, Market Approach, and Income Approach. The Asset Approach focuses on asset-intensive businesses by adjusting assets and liabilities accordingly. The Market Approach allows users to search PeerComps' expansive database using criteria such as NAICS codes, revenue sizes, and other variables, implementing price to revenue, SDE, and EBITDA calculations for comparatives analysis. Lastly, the Income Approach employs a discounted future cash flow method focusing on EBITDA with specific discount rates based on risk factors influencing small business valuations. PeerComps offers distinct membership plans catering to varying client requirements: an All-Inclusive Annual Membership providing unrestricted access to both its valuation tool and comparative search database, and a Comps Search Annual Subscription for those requiring only the comparables search database. Additionally, PeerComps provides One-Time Business Valuation services utilizing Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) as a framework. Leading the company are two vital figures: Darren Mize, serving as President, and Steve Mize, acting as Vice President and Managing Partner of GCF Valuation. Steve Mize, an Accredited Senior Appraiser with credentials from the American Society of Appraisers (ASA), has extensive experience in various valuation-related engagements nationwide. The company maintains its legal status diligently, most recently undergoing reinstatement on December 16, 2020.
