Complexity Experts

Each business and hence valuation situation is unique, often providing additional complexities that require an expert to accurately identify the valuation landscape, where the increased risk lies, and how to value the subject assets with an extremely high degree of defensibility. InteleK appraisers are these experts, ready for your complex valuation situation.

Complexity Examples

• Valuation purpose - i.e. partnership or marital disputes, ESOP, or estate planning
• Complex capital structures
• Complex financial instruments - i.e. options, warrants, preferrence shares
• Complex corporate structure - i.e. multiple entities, entity type, and entity size.
• Incomplete and unaudited financial statements not consistent with GAAP
• Application of discounts (control / marketability / keyman etc.)
• Coordination and review of specialized appraisals, i.e. realestate, intangibles, equipment.

Dynamic Pricing for Business Valuations

Client-Specific Pricing for a Custom, Client-Specific Valuation Report

If your business doesn’t require the services, you won’t pay for them with InteleK. We believe that pricing should be determined by your needs.

Nature of Services

In our experience, each client is unique. As a result, we do not generate cookie cutter reports based on cookie cutter pricing as such an approach exposes clients to many significant risks in the future. As valuation and risk reduction experts, we carefully and holistically consider many aspects of each client’s situation such as a valuation purpose, compliance with relevant laws and regulations, litigation risk, nature of a business, quality of financial statements, complexity of capital structure, range and difficulty of applicable valuation methods and other issues. 

Educated Clients

We believe that an educated client is our best client. Therefore, we are also happy to spend as much time as necessary educating our clients about our approach and results so that they can understand how sound valuation practices reflect the value of their business and reduce future compliance and litigation risks. 

Reducing your potential fees, penalties and damages.

Our extensive expertise and high level of attention to detail allow each client to receive the most relevant valuation report, which can also withstand a very high degree of outside scrutiny. Such level of quality allows our clients to not only address their immediate needs but also materially reduce the risk of very expensive and high disruptive disputes and litigation. 

In our view, the best and most cost effective preventative measure to avoid material adverse impacts on your business is a quality valuation report.

Please contact one of our accredited appraisers for pricing details specific to your valuation needs.
