Business Valuation Services

We begin each engagement by discussing the details of the assignment with the principals to ensure a clear and complete understanding of the objectives and purpose of the valuation. Denver BVFLS recognizes that different valuation purposes require different analytical approaches, and we tailor our methodology accordingly.

After developing a clear understanding of your objectives, we will provide a fee quote along with a written engagement letter. The engagement letter outlines the scope of our services, the anticipated timeline for completion, and the agreed-upon fees for the engagement.

We gather detailed information about each engagement through structured questionnaires, management interviews, and a thorough review of financial and operational documents. Developing a comprehensive understanding of the company’s financial performance, operations, and industry environment allows us to effectively address the valuation objective and support our conclusions.

This process requires careful analysis of the company’s financial statements and the identification of appropriate adjustments, including those related to owner compensation and benefits, discretionary or non-recurring expenses, intangible assets, and operational and industry-specific risk factors that may influence value. When appropriate, we also collaborate with management to develop projections of the company’s anticipated future financial performance.

This process involves a detailed analysis of company records, including financial statements, tax returns, operational data, intangible assets, risk factors, and other relevant information. We also research economic conditions, industry trends, potential risk factors, and comparable transactions involving both public and private companies within the same or similar industries.

Because financial statements are typically prepared for tax reporting purposes, they must be carefully interpreted and recast to reflect the economic realities of the business before they can be reliably used in a business valuation analysis.

Our valuation reports present a comprehensive analysis of the key risk factors affecting the subject business, along with a detailed description of the company, its operations, and its competitive position within the marketplace. Each engagement includes an evaluation of relevant economic conditions and industry trends that may influence value.

The report incorporates fully recast financial statements and a rigorous review of applicable valuation methodologies. We carefully consider and apply the approaches most appropriate to the circumstances of each engagement, and all assumptions and conclusions are thoroughly tested for reasonableness and support.

Our objective is to deliver a customized, well-documented, and defensible business valuation that meets the highest professional standards.
