Valuations & Fairness Opinions
We provide thorough and independent financial valuations for our clients. Often an independent valuation is important to either a board of directors or a third party, and W.B. Grimes & Company’s Sports Advisory Group is equipped to provide this service for our clients.
Our process is objective and fair, and we pride ourselves on the rigor of our analytical process. We explore all aspects of a franchise’s operations in order to derive a valuation that will withstand outside scrutiny. Our analysis includes a combination of qualitative and quantitative measures including the competitive landscape, comparable companies and transactions, as well as the company's operations and history.

For further information on our valuation services contact Larry Grimes, President, Sports Advisory Group at (301) 253-5016 or email us at lgrimes@sportsmergers.com for a confidential review of your own situation.
