Owners (or advisors) trying to decide whether a valuation makes sense are welcome to call the SPARDATA sales department at 800-895-4100 to discuss the specifics of their situation. Often, however, the advisor(s) and the business owner(s) prefer to have a joint conversation to discuss the potential business valuation with a valuation consultant. We realize it is often difficult to have all interested parties convene in one meeting location to conduct this conversation. Schedule a free no-obligation consultation with SPARDATA, allowing everyone to convene via telephone with a SPARDATA valuation consultant. This consultation will allow you to ask questions and truly understand the reasons for and the process behind the valuation. Once the call is scheduled, you will be provided with a toll-free number and code to access the teleconference line at the scheduled time. Once everyone is present, the advisor kicks things off by introducing the owner to the SPARDATA consultant.
First the SPARDATA valuation consultant spends a few moments providing a quick overview of the firm’s background, experience and credentials. Then the focus turns to the business owner. The consultant asks the owner questions about the business to make sure SPARDATA is qualified to value it. If for whatever reason the consultant concludes SPARDATA is not the right choice, he or she will say so – and will suggest other options the owner should consider.
Once the consultant concludes SPARDATA is capable of providing a first-rate valuation were the owner to place an order, then it is time to address the questions owners (and their advisors) almost always have: how much does it cost, how long does it take, how would SPARDATA value the business in question, etc.
The teleconference usually ends after 20-30 minutes. If the decision is made to proceed with a valuation, the contract and related documentation may be downloaded from SPARDATA’s supply room. Once provided a signed contract and payment (SPARDATA requires payment in advance), the valuation process begins.
