TMF offers three levels of valuation / appraisal service: Valuation consultations are comprised of gathering pertinent information for review and analysis by the valuation / appraisal expert. Then discussing the needs and concerns of the client as well as considerations of value for the matter at hand. A Calculation engagement involves gathering information and analysis by the valuation expert. It may also involve consultations and discussions. The resulting value is calculated utilizing one valuation method and is expressed as a value or range of values.  A Valuation engagement is an extensive and in depth study of the business, industry, economy, and other factors that takes all three valuation methods into account. It results in a determination of value expressed in a full report. It is the only method of valuation suitable for admission to court proceedings or filings with the IRS.
