Discount Study A discount study values your interest in a private corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, or in a large block of stock held in a publicly traded company. Analysis of Offering Price An analysis of offering price determines the intrinsic value of a business that you are considering buying or selling. Appraisal Review An appraisal review determines if a third-party valuation meets established appraisal standards and presents a well-reasoned and supportable conclusion. Fairness Opinion A fairness opinion is an analysis of the financial fairness of value allocation. Solvency Opinion A solvency opinion concludes whether or not the fair market value of an interest is in excess of its liability and if the interest will be able to meet its debt obligations when due. Asset Review An asset review is required every year for certain fiduciary-administered assets of privately held corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships, general partnerships or sole proprietorships. Quantification of Damages for Lost Profit A quantification of damages is usually produced as a tool during the litigation, arbitration or mediation that follows the violation of an agreement or fiduciary duties. Blockage or Restricted Stock Study A blockage or a restricted stock study determines the impact on value if a large block of publicly traded stock were to be sold at a discount or if restricted publicly traded stocks were to be sold at a discount during the restricted time period.
