The process of valuing a company generally takes one to two weeks, depending on how quickly interviews can be conducted and financial information is provided. This process could take longer if the organization is complex. Here is what you can expect when hiring Arbor Valuation and Consulting:
In our initial discussion, we will cover the purpose of the valuation and identify important factors driving the scope of the assignment.
Once the engagement has been defined, we will provide a quote and summary of the valuation work.
In order to fully understand the drivers of the business, we’ll collect financial documents and interview management.
A detailed questionnaire will be used to conduct this phase of the engagement.
We will analyze the information that is collected in a variety of ways, and we will adjust company financials as needed for comparison with industry averages.
We’ll also consider economic and industry trends and research similar business transactions.
We will prepare a comprehensive valuation report that summarizes the company’s position in its industry and its financial performance compared with its peers. The valuation report will incorporate a number of alternative valuation approaches to find the most applicable methodology.
We’ll review the valuation report with the client to ensure the client understands the assumptions made, methodology and conclusions.
