Section 1: Information About Your Firm

 
8% of survey complete.
Thanks for participating in the largest survey of management practices in the business valuation profession. BVR conducts this survey every two years to help appraisers benchmark and improve their practice management. All responses are confidential. The deadline to be included is Monday, April 1st.

We've separated this questionnaire into 9 topical sections, each focusing on a separate area of practice management. This first section asks for basic information about your business valuation practice.

You can pause and return to the survey if you need to.

Answer as many questions as you can, but feel free to skip any item that does not apply to your firm. Only those questions marked with "*" are required.

If you have any questions (or suggestions to make the Survey better!), please contact David Foster at davidf@bvresources.com.

All participants who register in the final section receive free highlights of the Survey, and a large participant discount on the full results.

Special thanks to Arlene Ashcraft and the ASA's BVC--and Elaine Leggett of the AICPA's FVS--for getting the word out to make this the biggest Survey ever.

And thanks to each of you from Business Valuation Resources. Here's to a great 2013.
