What is a 409A Valuation?
A 409A valuation determines the fair market value (FMV) of a private company’s common stock. It’s a requirement under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and is essential for setting the strike price for stock options issued to employees. Accurate 409A valuations help companies avoid IRS penalties, stay compliant, and ensure transparency with investors and auditors.
This valuation is typically conducted by an independent third-party to ensure objectivity and withstand scrutiny from regulators and potential acquirers. Startups and growing businesses often need updated 409A reports annually or when a significant event—like funding rounds or mergers—occurs. Timely and defensible valuations are critical to supporting employee equity plans and long-term financial strategy.
