Full Onboarding Process Description
Our Valuation Engagement Process
Elite Valuation Authority follows a structured, transparent, and efficient onboarding process to ensure every valuation is accurate, compliant, and aligned with the client's strategic objectives.
Step 1: Initial Inquiry
The client submits the Request a Valuation form or contacts us directly.
We conduct a brief review to understand the nature of the assignment, valuation purpose, asset type, and expected timeline.
Step 2: Introductory Consultation
We schedule a short call to discuss:
- scope and purpose of valuation
- regulatory or transaction-related requirements
- available documents
- expected methodology and complexity
- deadlines and deliverables
This consultation is free of charge.
Step 3: Proposal & Engagement Letter
Based on the information received, we prepare a tailored proposal outlining:
- scope of work
- methodology to be applied
- fee structure and payment terms
- timeline
- assumptions and limitations
- confidentiality and compliance clauses
The engagement starts once the proposal is accepted and the Engagement Letter is signed.
Step 4: Data Collection
We provide the client with a Data Request Checklist (or questionnaire).
Typical documents include:
- financial statements
- operational KPIs
- ownership & legal documents
- asset-specific records (property deeds, equipment lists, IP certificates)
- business plan or forecast
All information is handled confidentially under GDPR and professional standards.
Step 5: Analysis & Valuation Modelling
Our experts perform:
- financial and operational analysis
- industry and market benchmarking
- risk assessment
- application of valuation methodologies (DCF, multiples, NAV, etc.)
- sensitivity & scenario modelling
Step 6: Draft Report & Review Meeting
We prepare a Draft Valuation Report and schedule a review meeting to:
- explain model assumptions

- address questions or clarifications
- incorporate factual corrections
Step 7: Final Signed Valuation Report
We deliver the final signed valuation report, suitable for:
- investors and lenders

We remain available for post-report support if needed.
