Different industries use different appraisal approaches.

Price Quotation

We can send you a price quote with the relevant information about your business. This price is subject to review in case of future adjustments. We will also include the estimated duration depending on the business type and the appraisal’s purpose. As you’d expect, the time estimate may change in case of hiccups during the process.

Agreement Signing

If you are comfortable with the fees, we will send you an agreement statement, which you need to sign. It is during this stage that you need to pay the retainer fee. It indicates that you are willing to commit to the journey. It also shows that the business or asset information is factual.

Reviewing Historic Data

To form the basis of the appraisal, we need to understand the historical company performance. As such, we require financial statements, tax returns, corporate structure, and others. The data helps to make future projections so we can give an accurate value for your business.

We project aspects such as operating expenses, future revenues, taxes, cost of capital, and capital requirements. Finally, we make adjustments to fit the current market conditions.

Business Appraisal

After getting the company’s historical data, we can conduct a business appraisal efficiently. We consider all assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities. It is in a bid to determine the economic value of your company. It might take longer or shorter depending on the business dynamics.

Reporting

Finally, we will give an appraisal report. If you wish, we can discuss the results so you can have a better understanding. The report comes in PDF and is only accessible once you pay the balance. You can use it for sales, legal or business acquisition purposes.

Benefits of Business appraisal

Why should you have your business appraised? Here are the reasons.

business appraisal benefits

Helps Obtain Finances

Financial institutions like banks will require a business valuation to facilitate a loan. A business valuation provides the bank with the fair market value of your business, allowing you to take a loan. Most banks will take a conservative approach when evaluating a company.

At Wiley Financial, we strive to take this approach, especially if the valuation’s purpose is to secure funding. You can quickly secure a loan with your financial statements and other requirements.

Helps Resolve Disputes

A business appraisal will also help resolve partner disputes. It is especially true when different entities or individuals own it. For example, in case of breach of contract or deficient services, owners and shareholders might fall into disagreements.

A business appraisal report is required to solve these disputes. It gives the accurate value of a company allowing for a smooth buyout.

Prepares a Company to Go Public

When a company wants to go public, the value of its stock needs to be known. If the public is unaware of the price, the IPO will be a flop. Wiley Financial will use different methods and approaches to appraise the business to get the IPO value. It is this information that allows for an IPO roadshow.

It is where investors test the offer or IPO. A roadshow is ideal for the success of the IPO. And with a successful IPO comes a high company valuation. Targeted investors and mechanisms will influence the IPO.

Enables Seamless Acquisition

A business must know its value if it wants to acquire another company. Likewise, a business that wants to sell its operation will need a fair market value to attract potential investors. Your firm will find the most appropriate business to sell to and the best company to merge with.

It helps know your Company's Performance

It is the primary benefit of a business appraisal. Knowing your company’s performance helps; you make improvements and cut expenses, increasing its value.
