FAQs

1. Valuer’s fee amount will depend on:

Yes, it is true that the fee amount due for our services varies. For example, our fees for valuation of business (participatory interests in a limited liability company or packages of shares in a closed joint-stock company and open joint-stock company) ranges from RUR15,000 to RUR1,500,000 which may be attributed to the impact certain factors may have thereupon as below:

• Size of your business;
• Type of activities;
• Branches, if any;
• Assets recorded on the books;
• Business plan of development availability;
• Others.

We do not have a single pricelist similar to that used in valuation of an apartment or non-living premises.

When we perform valuation of businesses those may significantly differ by size, e.g.:

Ниже приведем примеры.

1. A limited liability company, which has, say, two computers, scarce furniture and office equipment, must be valued. Its office premises are rented. The company has neither credits, nor borrowings. Its payables and receivables are but insignificant.

   Actually valuation of such company will be measurement of market value of its fixed assets and measurement of cashflow based on the retrospective analysis of its profit and losses. This work is not difficult and does not require massive resource and heavy time spending. Thus, here valuation fee will be about RUR30,000.

   But if the company has a fleet of motor vehicles or a building or premises, then the valuation fee will grow to be from RUR50,000 to RUR90,000.

2. Also valued may be a company with a production basis in operation, which is on company’s records; the basis may comprise 20 buildings of different nature (the administrative building, shops, warehouses, compressor stations, pump buildings, branch railway line, utility systems, etc.), some 500 units of equipment, etc.

   Then the valuation labor costs increase and therefore the fee will increase, too, as this business valuation will require valuation of assets, in this particular case, the plant.

3. When we value banks or insurance companies we do not have a uniform pricelist and the fee due for the services will be determined individually for each particular project.

Thus, such factors as complexity and the required depth of the works to be performed will largely determine the fee amount.

2. What documents you should submit?

Where a business is valued, collection of information may be performed in the following several stages:

1 Stage – preliminary.

First, you should deliver to us the data related to financial statements (forms 1 and 2) at the last reporting date and answer the following questions:

1. How long does your company perform operations?
2. What is the main type of operations of your company?
3. What assets of your company are business-generating?
4. Has your company contributions into share capitals of other companies?
5. Has your company an affiliated network?

This information will allow us to:

• Understand what type of business you are (small, medium or large);
• Understand what hard assets are owned by the company;
• Understand the expected labor inputs associated with the engagement;
• Inform you about our valuation services fee and the project terms.

2 Stage - working.

At this stage the valuation contract has been already made and you will have from 3 days to 5 days to acquire the following documents and prepare information. Usually the documents are prepared by the company’s accounting office and lawyers:

• Copies of the foundation documents (Articles of Association, Foundation Agreement, Certificate of Registration, Tax Registration Certificate);
• Company’s structure;
• Financial statements (forms 1 and 2) for the proceeding 3 years (annual and quarter);
• The recent Auditor’s report (if audit performed);
• Details of all balance sheet items (Form 1) at the recent reporting date;
• Details of all annual articles of income and expenses (Form 2) for the last 3 years (structure of revenue, cost and other income and expenses);
• Information about subsidiaries, holdings, if any, and their financial statements;
• Business plan of the company for the next 3 to 5 years where gross receipt by goods/services, required investments, costs, net profit, all by years (if any) must be specified.

3 Stage – optional.

The list of the documents to be acquired at the 2nd Stage may be extended after the valuer acquaints itself with the valued object.

3. What is a rough estimate of your business?

There is no answer to this question. The cashflows model will be developed for each new enterprise individually. Also there are no software products in Excel that could allow for a qualified approximation. Besides, the final estimate will be under impact of many factors such as:

• Market factors that require an in-depth analysis;
• Financial and economic indicators which demonstrate a steady dynamics;
• Regional factors and those of location;
• Analysis of the competitive environment;
• Individual characteristics of a specific business.

All this means that a professional valuer will never estimate its work roughly, as the preliminary estimation requires qualification, experience, knowledge and is time consuming.

4. How much time is required to value business?

Generally, from 1 business week to 4 business weeks as the works scope will depend upon the scope of your business.

It is a noteworthy fact that if you are pressed in time and it is necessary to obtain a valuation report in 2 or three days then it will be possible provided that:

1. 1. You deliver information to us within the shortest possible time. Often a failure to do this has a negative impact on the valuation term. The client urgently needs the report but the client’s accounting officegathers the package of the documents during several days or even a week;
2. Several experts will be engaged to perform the project (one expert will acquire and process information, the second one will analyze the market data, the third one will perform the required calculations, the fourth one will proceed with the execution of the report articles, and the fifth one will control the following process). It is possible to complete the project by a 3 to 5 man strength team within shortest time but its work will increase the fee amount due 1.5- or 2-fold.
