Avicor

What Avicor does

Avicor Aviation Inc. is an independent advisory firm founded in 1987 by Allan Tamm and headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon. Since August 2014 it has operated under president Lillian Tamm, CVA, following a family succession triggered by the founder's illness and death. The firm delivers a tightly integrated suite of four professional services: CVA-certified aviation business valuations for closely held companies such as FBOs, MROs, charter operators, and flight schools; independent desktop aircraft appraisals for business jets, turboprops, and helicopters; strategic aviation consulting covering feasibility studies, market research, business plans, and operational assessments; and aircraft acquisition advisory for corporate and individual buyers.

The firm's core technology is its aviation-specific valuation methodology stack, codified under NACVA CVA accreditation and combining asset, income, and market approaches with domain expertise in operational, regulatory, and market dynamics of aviation businesses. Confidential desktop appraisal processes synthesize market conditions, comparable sales, and aircraft specifications without requiring physical inspection. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services engagements sold on a quote-based pricing model; no tiered pricing, no subscription, and no public fee schedules are disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and content-supported: direct consultation requests via toll-free phone and web forms, professional referrals, and an educational blog and bimonthly "Worth It Wedne$day" newsletter targeting senior management, owners, and financiers of closely held aviation businesses.
