Evidmere engages with a new client in 5 steps
- The company's background, and the shareholders' objectives and constraints.
Free: A decision document that needs no agreement because it uses public information only, about a week after you give us the company's name — see a sample review.
No cost, from public informationPaid: The decision document on the company's own records, 20% of the review's fee, about ten days after the information request is complete. Before you send confidential company information, we sign a mutual confidentiality agreement.
If you commission the review within thirty days of this document's delivery, we deduct its fee from the payment due on commissioning.
- The engagement letter, signed on commissioning, fixes the price. Information comes through a named-person upload link or your own file site, never by email.
- The strategic options, what each is worth and what must hold; the board's comments on the assumptions.Your comments
- The workbook recomputes every figure; the working papers behind it are available on request.
The Extended Shareholder Return Review adds peer benchmarking, the review in board-ready form with one round of the board's substantive comments taken into the final, and greater analysis of each business unit. Ordinary comments on the draft are part of every review; the Extended Shareholder Return Review takes one round of the board's substantive comments into the final.
The engagement terms
- Prices are in pounds sterling (or the equivalent amount in US dollars or euros) and exclude VAT.
- Half of the fee is payable when you commission the review, and half on acceptance of the final report. The Private Information Decision Document is the one exception: its fee is payable on commissioning. Invoices are due fourteen days from issue; fees quoted in US dollars or euros are converted once, at the Bank of England rate on the date of the engagement letter.
- Our fee is fixed. No part of it depends on a financing, a sale or any other transaction.
