You want to lay on the beach in a tropical destination but there are several steps you need to do before getting to your tropical paradise.<\/p>\n<p>We outline below the six important steps of having your business valued with Davis Martindale Advisory Services and your involvement in each step.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Engagement letter and preliminary requests<\/li>\n<li>Follow up questions<\/li>\n<li>Draft<\/li>\n<li>Representation Letter<\/li>\n<li>Invoice<\/li>\n<li>Final Report<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>1 \u2013 Engagement Letter and Preliminary Requests<\/h4>\n<p><em>You\u2019ve booked your flight and packed your bags.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our engagement letter sets out the nature of the assignment, the purpose, our indemnity, terms and conditions, timing of the engagement, and fees.\u00a0 Before we can proceed with the valuation you must sign the engagement letter and pay our retainer.\u00a0 We ask you to sign the engagement letter at the start of the process to ensure all parties understand what we have been asked to prepare for you.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of issuing our report is dependent on when we receive the preliminary information requests from you.\u00a0 Our preliminary information requests may seem lengthy (i.e. our list of requests tend to be approximately 30 to 40 questions) but the information you provide us is imperative in understanding your business, corroborating facts on your business and ensuring we have all information necessary to complete the valuation.\u00a0 While this volume of information requested may seem tedious, we do appreciate the time and effort you take to give us the information we need.\u00a0 Packing your bags can often feel monotonous, but you will thank yourself when you are on the beach and you packed your sunscreen.<\/p>\n<h4>2 \u2013 Follow up questions<\/h4>\n<p><em>You\u2019ve arrived at the airport and gone have through security.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After we have received the signed engagement letter and responses to all our preliminary requests, we will begin preparing the draft report.<\/p>\n<p>When preparing the draft report and reviewing the information you have provided, there may be additional questions.\u00a0 We do our best to ensure all our follow up questions are sent to you in one follow up request but sometimes we have more than one.\u00a0\u00a0 We are happy to have our questions answered through email, but if you have any questions about our questions, you can always give us a call.<\/p>\n<h4>3 \u2013 Draft<\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019ve answered our preliminary requests and you\u2019ve answered all our follow up questions and now you are waiting while we prepare the draft valuation report for you. You can sit back and relax while we take you to your final destination.<\/p>\n<p>When we issue the draft report to you, we expect you to read it in full and anticipate you may have questions or comments and look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n<h4>4 \u2013 Representation Letter<\/h4>\n<p><em>You\u2019ve landed; you are almost there!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve received our draft report, but in our correspondence to you we\u2019ve asked you sign the representation letter and pay our invoice before we will give you the final report.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t you already sign something at the start of the process?<\/p>\n<p>The representation letter is different than the engagement letter. It is signed at the end of the process and confirms that we have relied on information provided by you and discussions with you; that you are not aware of any errors, omissions, or misrepresentation of facts which may have a significant impact on our report; and that no events have occurred and no facts have been discovered to the date of the representation letter which would have a material effect on the conclusion in our report.<\/p>\n<p>The representation letter will always be sent with the draft report and must be signed and returned to us before we can issue the final report.<\/p>\n<h4>5 \u2013 Invoice<\/h4>\n<p><em>You\u2019ve picked up your luggage at the carousel and are ready to go.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve read our draft report and have sent us the signed representation letter but the final step is payment.\u00a0 We may have asked to you to pay a retainer before starting the work.\u00a0 The retainer request would be sent with the engagement letter and preliminary requests. The final invoice (net of any retainer paid) would be sent with the draft or soon following the release of the draft.\u00a0 Once payment is received (and the representation letter is signed) we release the final report.<\/p>\n<h4>6 \u2013 Final Report<\/h4>\n<p><em>You have finally made it to your final destination.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You have answered all our questions, signed our engagement and representation letters, and no accounts are outstanding.\u00a0 You can put your feet up and relax as now we can issue our final report.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/stage.tbkdev.com\/dev\/davismartindale.com\/src\/services\/business-valuation-services\/\">Give us a call<\/a> and we will get your report to its final destination.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/basic_container][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][basic_container container_size=&#8221;container container-narrow&#8221;]<div class=\"templatera_shortcode\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"basic-container row   \" >\n\t<div class=\"bg-overlay none\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"text-left\">\n\t\t<a class=\"general-button btn  btn-info \" href=\"https:\/\/stage.tbkdev.com\/dev\/davismartindale.com\/src\/subscribe\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"\" title=\"Subscribe\">\n\t\t\tSubscribe to Davis Martindale's Valuation Blogs\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"basic-container row   \" >\n\t<div class=\"bg-overlay none\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h4><strong>Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"basic-container row   \" >\n\t<div class=\"bg-overlay none\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 25px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body><div class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border  vc_box_border_grey\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vc_single_image-img \" src=\"https:\/\/stage.tbkdev.com\/dev\/davismartindale.com\/src\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Ron-Martindale-02-2020-200x200.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Head shot of Ron\" title=\"Ron Martindale - Valuation &amp;
