A closely held entity has quite a different personality than that of a large, public corporation. Generally, ownership is in the hands of one or a few individuals, and usually these individuals are also the management. We realize that our work is of personal significance to our clients and is not merely a routine business transaction. All information is held in the strictest confidence, projects are completed on schedule at the agreed price and we stand ready to fully explain and defend the steps involved in our determinations.

Every valuation involves an in-depth review of the business from qualitative and quantitative perspectives. In this way, clients gain from our full understanding of the company's operations and its performance within regional, national or international markets. Each valuation also includes an inspection of facilities and interviews with key management personnel.

We have performed appraisals in over one hundred different industries, thus building a large base of experience from which to work. We have at our disposal a wealth of research data and material to utilize, and this, combined with experience gained over the years, enables us to analyze and understand the dynamics and intricacies of almost every situation. We firmly believe that we can perform an expert appraisal of any going concern and always stand prepared to defend our work. We will explain each step of our analysis without hiding behind the leaps of faith often seen in the sweeping, general statements contained in many appraisal reports.
