The FMV of your company’s shares is calculated using 409A valuation performed by a professional expert like Eqvista. Check out our support guide to learn how to request 409A valuation on Eqvista. 

Note: the FMV of a company’s 409a valuation is applicable for 12 months after the valuation date unless there is a significant material event.
