Small business valuation is not much different from standard business valuation. However, small business valuation is faster to perform because there is less financial and business data to analyze and less time can be spent for future cash flows predictions. 

But in other hand, small businesses are less stable and that makes them less predictable. That means valuation of small business is less accurate than valuation of large corporation despite the valuation method used. 

There are few standard valuation methods used for small business valuation: DCF valuation and relative valuation are the most popular methods. Both of them have some advantages and some disadvantages. If you have some specific questions about small business valuation or need a consultancy, you should find yourself valuation consultants.
