What is Brillian?

About Brillian and the problem we solve.

Written by Hallie Porterfield

For most business owners, their company is their largest financial asset. Yet business value is rarely incorporated into personal financial planning in a systematic way. Advisors track investment portfolios with precision, but the business itself — often the largest single line item on the owner's balance sheet — typically goes untracked between infrequent, one-off valuations.

Brillian is the first business valuation and advisory platform purpose-built for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). It connects a business owner's company to their broader financial plan, giving owners, their financial advisors, and their financial institutions a current, structured view of what the business is worth, how it's performing, and where opportunities or risks exist.

For every business, Brillian provides:

  • Business valuation: updated annually at no cost, or on-demand with an advisory relationship

  • Goal tracking: owners identify their goal for the business, whether that's to sell or continue growing, and Brillian tracks performance to this goal over time

  • Performance benchmarking: comparing the business against industry peers

  • Possible optimizations: opportunity identification, tailored to the business and its key metrics, with specific improvements to grow profit and increase enterprise value

The data behind it

Brillian's valuations are standards-based and built using traditional valuation methodologies, including market, income or asset-based approaches. These are same ones used by professional appraisers, but powered by your actual financial data plus Brillian's dataset of SMB performance and private market transactions.
