Operational Assessment & Valuation Opinion

An Opinion of Value Report (OVR) is

  • a process and set of procedures used to estimate the economic value of a business.

  • It may consider not only the financial factors relating to value but the market conditions that affect a specific industry and location, as well as current economic conditions that affect financing and growth.

  • Used for informational and planning purposes over the lifespan of the company and the individuals with ownership equity in the company.

  • Not a substitute for a thorough and comprehensive Full Business valuation.

  • It differs from a Full Business Valuation compiled by a Qualified Business Appraiser in that it
    • Uses fewer methods for valuing a business
    • Uses industry – specific norms
    • Is less comprehensive,
    • Is smaller in size, and
    • Therefore, less expensive in nature.

Because of it’s low cost (updates as low as $1,000) it can be affordably updated periodically

    • Compares the subject firm with like firms

      • Identifies and develops meaningful Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
    • Serves as the basis for planning and forecasting

  • Is best performed by experts in a given industry who can

Valuation / Assessment Fee:

Single Valuation / Assessment

$4,000

Each Additional Location

$500

Additional Tax Entities

$1,000

How it works:

  • Additional Location:

    It is not always necessary to break out and analyze individual branches and locations for the valuation / assessment. The additional location fee only applies when a separate valuation / assessment is required.

  • Additonal Tax Entities:

    Like additional locations it is not always necessary to provide a separate valuation. This fee only applies when a separate analysis is required. Additional entities like cemeteries and businesses not directly involved in the primary business of funeral service will require separate analysis.
