Our Valuations are 100% Custom
Many valuation firms use templates and valuation software into which they stuff your business’s financials to produce an estimate of value.
At Dover Valuations, we deeply analyze your business to learn how it functions and what are its revenue and expense drivers. We then incorporate these into unique financial valuation models that reflect your particular company’s operations and its business environment. The result is a more reasonable and defensible valuation report.
We Listen to You
We’re astonished by other valuation analysts who never interview a business’s owners and managers, and by how many never bother to visit a client’s facilities.
We always interview the business owners and managers (unless the owners request that we do not, due to confidentiality concerns). And, whenever warranted, we make site visits. How else could we learn about special circumstances and the business outlook?
We Hide Nothing
Upon our asking another firm’s analyst how he arrived at a particular, crucial value, he simply replied “Professional Judgement.” Professional judgement based upon what?
We fully document how we determine all the essential numbers, amounts, and figures in our analyses. Professional judgement is a significant valuation component, but it must be grounded in facts and data and not simply pulled from somewhere, or nowhere.
