About Quikval

Three decades of specialized expertise in restaurant and franchise valuation, serving private equity, banks, and franchise operators nationwide.

Our Story

With more than 30 years' experience in the economics and financial analysis of the US food-service industry, Craig Salvay recognized the need for a rapid, dependable and affordable method of restaurant valuation for franchise owners and operators — whether they have a single unit or an entire franchise group.

He developed the Quik Valuation℠ proprietary method of analysis to provide a depth of detail that is highly informative and applicable in situations not requiring conformity to IRS regulations (59-60, et seq.) or the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

This approach allows us to deliver comprehensive valuations faster and more cost-effectively than traditional appraisal methods, while maintaining the accuracy and reliability that lenders, investors, and business owners require for their critical decisions.
