It all begins with an idea. We provide consulting and valuation services to assist individuals or partners in the middle of contemplating the sale of their business or want to determine how to cash out the business. This could be via estate and gift tax planning or exit planning.

We do this through in-person or online meetings. Usually in these situations we can provide the analysis and valuation in spreadsheets or exhibits and present the information to the group which may eliminate the need to produce a report, which is more cost-effective.

Steps to Working with Us

We will provide a valuation document request which includes 3-5 years of prior tax returns, operating/shareholder agreements, internal financial statements, fixed asset listing and other various financial data.

We will then set an in-person or web-based meeting with all clients. During this meeting we will discuss the historical operations of the business, the future income potential, non-operating assets, non-recurring expenses, reasonable officers’ compensations and normal rent, to name a few. This is a fact-finding meeting.

The valuation expert will then incorporate all the information in the valuation analysis, address any additional questions to all parties via group emails and determine the value of the business(es). Another meeting will be arranged for the valuation expert to covey the findings of the valuation analysis and answer any questions regarding the assumptions used to determine the value. During this meeting we will also help clients develop the sale strategy and identify a plan for moving forward.

Many times when the clients can clearly see the financial picture, it is easier to negotiate a deal and know the range of value during the negotiation process.

Sedlment™ is an innovative online dispute resolution process for complex financial matters or when a business valuation is crucial to the negotiations. Couples & business partners work together with One Valuation Mediation Expert to resolve the issues.

Valuation Mediation effectively resolves business valuation disputes through a neutral financial mediator or exit planning facilitator. Our experts have knowledge in business valuation, accounting, CFO services, exit planning, mergers & acquisitions and complex financial analysis.

We provide a calculation of value for your business, based on the income and market approaches and correlated to a reasonable range of value. We provide our analysis via online presentation, recorded for you to review again later, and a follow-up meeting with your advisors to explain the valuation calculation to your team.

The Symbolism of Female Elephants

Our core belief is that when women unite and support each other, extraordinary transformations can occur.

Much like female elephants in the wild, who instinctively form a protective circle around one of their own when she is sick, injured, or struggling, we believe in the power of collective strength and compassion. When women stand together, they create a safe space for healing, growth, and resilience.

“The Circle” - Group Discussion (90 minutes)

Each week, you’re invited to meet with all 5 of our experts LIVE online. The first segment is “The Circle.” where we all join together to discuss topics we know are important as you maneuver through the divorce process. We call it “The Circle” because we like to think we are circling around you in your time of need to protect you from any pitfalls you may encounter. This is what female elephants do when one of their own is injured or giving birth. They circle the compromised elephant to keep her safe from predators while she heals. And we think that is a perfect representation of what we do in The Divorce Allies™.
