System and method for providing a plurality of asset and service valuations

Abstract

A computer-implemented engine, system and method for generating business valuations, scoring, and/or flagging over a network, responsively to information input by a user remote from the engine, system and method. The invention may include a graphical user interface capable of locally querying a user to input the company information, at least one network port capable of remotely receiving the company information from the graphical user interface, and at least one engine communicatively connected to the at least one network port, which engine preferably includes a plurality of rules to generate, responsively to the input company information, at least one of a business valuation, a business score, and/or one or more business flags to be used as indicators in a network marketplace, for the company associated with the inputted company information.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented engine for generating a business valuation report over a network responsive to input company information, comprising:
 a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer executable instructions for a graphical user interface capable of locally querying a valuation requester for the input company information comprising at least general company information, company financial information, and company presence information;   at least one network port capable of remotely receiving the company information from said graphical user interface;   at least one rules engine communicatively connected to said at least one network port, and comprising a plurality of rules to generate at least a low, middle and high ones of the business valuation responsively to the company information, the plurality of rules further comprising indicators of those of the input company information that, upon modification, indicate a need for a second business valuation report.   
     
     
         2 . The engine of  claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface is remote from the valuation requester. 
     
     
         3 . The engine of  claim 1 , wherein the user interface may query the valuation requester for at least one information flag. 
     
     
         4 . The engine of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one information flag is user selectable. 
     
     
         5 . The engine of  claim 1 , wherein the input company information is at least one selected from the group consisting of a third party payment score, a credit score, a tax return, liabilities, debt incurred and cash accrued. 
     
     
         6 . The engine of  claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface is accessible from at least two remote locations. 
     
     
         7 . The engine of  claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface is accessible by at least two valuation requesters. 
     
     
         8 . The engine of  claim 1 , wherein the valuation requester is not associated with the company. 
     
     
         9 . The engine of  claim 1 , wherein the company information is received through a valuation requester not associated with the company.
