Valuator Consulting

Please describe your company and your position there.

Anima-Vet is a veterinary clinic based in Sela, Croatia. I am the co-owner of the company.

For what projects/services did your company hire Valuator Consulting?

We needed the valuation of our company in order to properly divide the assets between the co-owners, as one of the co-owners wanted to step out of the ownership structure with a pay-off.

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

We heard about the company before via recommendation by an aquaintance. We contacted them and were satisfied with their offer.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

We first had an initial meeting, explained the situation and then gave them full financial statements. They were to determine the fair value between all the co-owners, which they then put in a report and presented to us. The case even went to court, and Valuator Consulting provided us with full support in means of company's valuation through the whole process.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We were working with 2 of their senior consultants, one of which was the CEO of the company.

Can you share any outcomes from the engagement that demonstrate progress or success?

With their valuation results, we were able to reach an agreement on the fair pay-off for one of the co-owners. By resolving that on mutual satisfaction for all parties involved, we were able to carry on with other projects and business opportunities that were jeopardized by that situation.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective, they are quick to respond, highly professional and always at service.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The approach and the communication made us feel like we were an important client. The expertise too, the way they presented their results was impressive and we were encouraged to ask for as many clarifications and further explanations as we wanted, it was really important to them that we all feel comfortable with the report.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

For the first period we didn't really get much feedback - which is normal since they didn't really have anything to report after just collecting all the necessary data - but we didn't really know what to expect from the final report until we saw the final report.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the owner and general manager of Specta Agency, a social media management and marketing agency.

What challenge were you trying to address with Valuator Consulting?

Another agency offered to buy our company, and we needed Valuator Consulting's help to determine if we were presented with a good deal or not.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We initially met with Valuator Consulting's team to discuss our company's status and offerings. They also asked for our financial statements to gauge our need for an acquisition, as well as our potential client's portfolio and existing offer. 

Based on our documents and their team's findings, Valuator Consulting presented thorough reports to inform us that the client's offer wasn't high-yielding and feasible enough to be accepted. They explained what our current financial standing looked like from their perspective and told us that we could still flourish as a provider, so selling our company to the interested client must not be an option we should consider.

What is the team composition?

We communicated with about three resources from Valuator Consulting throughout the process.

How did you come to work with Valuator Consulting?

I found their team via Google while looking for possible agencies to onboard for this project. Valuator Consulting immediately replied to my inquiry, and their serious approach to addressing our needs was the primary factor we considered when we hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $503,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership ran from July–October 2021.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Valuator Consulting delivered accurate evaluation results that simplified our decision-making process — I'm not sure if we'd come up with the same well-thought-out choice had we not engaged their team to assist us. Overall, we were pleased with their thorough understanding of our financial capacity and identifying what we needed to improve on.

How did Valuator Consulting perform from a project management standpoint?

We mainly communicated via email. Valuator Consulting met our project management standards with their prompt, seamless, and cost-efficient approach. Their spot-on presentation skills also helped us progress within our preferred timelines.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Valuator Consulting had top-notch communication skills and delivered satisfactory results from beginning to end — we made the right choice by not pursuing other companies apart from their team.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We were pleased with everything they delivered.

Any advice for potential customers?

Any consulting project heavily relies on clearly outlined requirements and the provider's ample access to your information — you'll only need to provide these to Valuator Consulting's proactive team, and they'll take it from there

For what projects/services did your company hire Valuator Consulting?

We hired them for the analysis of a new business we want to start, a new project that needed precise financial analysis.

How did you select this firm and what were the deciding factors?

We were searching for a company that is a specialist in financial consulting & valuation so we found them on google. After a short talk with them we decided that they are the perfect team for us.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

Before the start they made us some question and some information about the project. When they started they asked some more info about the project and they were very precise. After some days the presented us the analysis and the results were stunning!! They analyzed the project not only with one method but with 3 different methods to be sure and more precise. Very well done!

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

One person worked with me, the General Manager, and this is absolutely good for me because we worked as a team and we were more productive than if I had to speak with many people.

They have done such a good job that the Bank hasn't hesitate to give us an offer for financing the project!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective! With only a few meetings they understood everything about the project.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Impressive and unique at the same time was the dedication and effort the put in this project even if it wasn't big. It is very rare that people give so much passion and care to their work.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

For me it was perfect from start to finish.
