The Process

GRW Appraisal Services will provide an estimate of value expressed either as a range or as a single value point. The appraisal process consists of several steps as follows:

Initial Discussion
A
valuation-process-flowWe have an initial discussion with you to determine the necessary services, identify any reporting requirements, and understand your timing needs in order to prepare a fee estimate.
A
Information Gathering
A
Once engaged, we work with you to gather necessary documents used to establish an opinion of value. Information generally requested includes historical and prospective financial statements with supporting detail, and formation and other operating documents. We gather industry and economic information that may affect the business. We also search for other outside information including data on operations and transactions in comparable companies.
A
Information Review
A
We review information about your company, such as its background and prospects, financial information, operating agreements, contracts, the company’s website, and other relevant detail to help in gaining a full understanding of the business.
A
Senior Management Input
A
Where possible and useful, we visit your company’s facilities and have conversations with company management to gain an understanding of the company’s key strengths, weaknesses, risks, and opportunities, further helping us arrive at a conclusion of value.
A
Analysis
A
We determine appropriate valuation approaches to apply based on the circumstances and availability of information. We work through the analysis and calculations of value. We determine the applicability of any valuation discounts, premiums, or adjustments and apply them where relevant.
A
Reporting
A
A preliminary estimate of value is determined by GRW Appraisal Services and communicated to you. The method of reporting can vary. At times, statutory reporting requirements dictate the level of detail to be presented. Depending on the requirements, the reported information can range from a set of valuation exhibits that present a detail of the analysis, to a comprehensive written report that discusses the valuation methods utilized, states key assumptions, and presents the market data relied upon in the valuation. After considering your feedback we will issue a final valuation report.
