OUR BUSINESS VALUATION PROCESS

Step 1: Introductory Meeting
Valuation engagements begin with a complementary introductory meeting, where we discuss your situation, the issues at hand, and your options. Once we assess these points, we can define the scope of the engagement.

Step 2: Define the Scope of the Engagement
After our first meeting, we will provide you an engagement letter which explains our role, your role, schedule, and fees. Once you sign and return this to our office, we can begin the engagement. Our valuation services are invoiced on a fixed fee basis, where half of the fees are due up front with the signing of the engagement letter. The balance plus any out-of-pocket expenses is paid upon delivery of the draft report – approximately 30 days after we begin.

Step 3: Collect all Analyze Relevant Business Data
When the signed engagement letter is received by our office, we will provide you with a listing of business data we will need to perform the valuation and we will set up a site meeting. The site meeting allows us to tour your facilities, meet key management, and collect the requested data from you. This meeting typically lasts 2 hours. However, if you provide the financial data prior to this meeting, for example, the last 5 years of financial statements and tax returns, the meeting will be shorter.

Step 4: Conduct the Formal Business Valuation
Most valuations can be completed in 30 days. Once we have performed our valuation work, we will issue a draft report for you and your advisors to review. It is very important for us to receive feedback from your team to ensure our conclusions are strong.

Step 5: Issue the Valuation Report / Findings
Once we receive your team’s feedback, we will promptly issue a final signed report.
