Le$$ Business Valuation
Find out how we can help you, and trust us as your partner.
Lawyers frequently take on issues involving marital financial pressure. During a divorce, these problems typically get worse because the same income that used to barely support one household now has to support two. To make things even more complicated, the marital estate might not have the money to pay for a thorough company appraisal. Working with clients who are still friendly but just don’t want to get married is something you can encounter. In these situations, you can’t help but think of the pie chart that Judge Black has created for you and your past clients innumerable times. When you start drawing your own, you discover that the “pie” is so tiny that it is hardly readable.
What can you do, then? If the financial impact isn’t too great, you can think about asking a local forensic accountant for a favor. Alternatively, you may try doing the business appraisal yourself, hoping it holds up and doesn’t keep you up at night.
The LE$$ product is available to you.
As the name implies, the Limited Evaluation Solution Service is an affordable substitute for situations that are unable to sustain a comprehensive valuation. Its scope is more limited than that of a regular valuation, as the name also suggests. The "scope of work" describes the parameters or restrictions of the task that will be done. In order to cut costs, the client purposefully restricts the scope of this service. We make assumptions based on the facts your client provides, rather than conducting a thorough forensic investigation into the company to find advantages or hidden benefits.
In addition to significant market research for the particular industry, you will obtain an affordable examination of the company's past earnings. We will be able to produce an estimated business value based on this data and a few critical assumptions that you will be asked to supply.
We will require certain information about the business's revenue that might not be included in the financial documents you and your customer submit in order to make this cost-effective solution feasible. This covers details like cash withdrawals that go unreported, personal advantages that are funded by corporate expenses, and any other unrecorded benefits. Your client needs to be well-versed on the company and the financial advantages discussed for this strategy to be effective. By making these assumptions, we can perform our research more quickly and assist you in cutting expenses considerably.
The following characteristics are often shared by clients who are most appropriate for this service:
- They are well-versed in how the company operates.
- Instead of a thorough appraisal, they are seeking a realistic, affordable quote.
- They are aware of any personal bonuses or "extra benefits" that come from the company.
When both parties are working well together and decide to use our services together, this service is also perfect.
For this service, your client will pay a one-time cost of $2,500. This sum can be used as a credit toward the entire cost if a comprehensive business value is later required.
To specify the extent of the work being done, it is crucial that you and the client sign an engagement letter. A discrepancy between expectations and actual results is a frequent cause of client annoyance. This can be avoided with the lawyer's well-written engagement letter. A fresh engagement letter must be signed in the event that the case does not settle and a standard valuation service is required.
Clients who are determined to make their spouse's life unpleasant or who will stop at nothing to exact retribution are not a good fit for this service. Additionally, it doesn't work well for bigger companies or customers who don't know anything about the company. Customers ought to be aware of the fundamentals of the company's operations and the range of jobs their spouse does.
Additionally, this service is inappropriate in situations where the records are untrustworthy and necessitate a thorough investigation that cannot be handled by conjecture.
Although LE$$ isn't always suitable, it can be quite beneficial for lawyers and clients who need a rough estimate of a company's worth in order to expedite a financial settlement.
Analyzing the variations in the creation of documents.
The Limited Evaluation Solution Service eliminates the need for the parties or their representatives to search storage bins, garages, or attics for dusty, half-used scraps of paper in order to fulfill the standard "boilerplate—kitchen sink" document requests that are typical in larger, more contentious cases.
Without a doubt, obtaining, copying, organizing, and maintaining papers might eat up a significant amount of the cost nevertheless.
The associated costs for information gathering, data analysis, and providing limited conclusions for settlement discussions stay under control and manageable when parties with a tight budget agree to limit the scope of our work.

The scope of the LE$$ involvement is constrained. The term "scope" in accounting describes the breadth and depth of the accountant's analysis. What distinguishes this from a full-scope valuation? Here are a few significant differences:
Resolve the valuation issue quickly!
Working with fewer documents and depending more on presumptions will allow us to drastically cut turnaround time from weeks to a matter of days. It may be possible to settle the case more quickly with this accelerated procedure. However, involving us early in the case is crucial. Waiting until the last minute could limit our availability if the case doesn't settle and a thorough appraisal is required. Get us involved early to ensure a seamless transition.
The Service's limited scope implies that none of our findings can be utilized in court due to the severe cost-saving measures required. This is because the scope of our regular engagements and the LE$$ service differs significantly.
Since it is the foundation of any professional's credibility, our reputation is our most valuable asset and needs to be carefully protected to guarantee the best caliber of work from all of us.
Since the main goal is to assist in resolving the issue as quickly as possible, we hope that testimony will never be needed for this kind of service.
