The Drs. Carland co-founded the Group in 1998 and have consulted with hundreds of firms on matters of feasibility, business plans, market penetration strategies, forms of business, organizational structuring, financial analysis, tax strategies, debt and equity funding, business appraisals, intellectual property, litigation support, lost revenue measurement, corporate veil piercing, partnership management, and harvesting strategies. They have written more than 50 business plans, consulted on the development of a hundred more, and revised dozens more to make the ventures feasible. They have appeared as expert witnesses in dozens of trials, and supported negotiated settlements in many more. They quantified the losses incurred by a sole proprietor when he was incapacitated by a car accident, and pierced the corporate veils protecting a chain of five medical corporations hiding from litigation. They have appraised more than fifty businesses, from junkyards to medical practices, including several in which the financial records had been destroyed. They appraised the lost revenues a cemetery sustained from an eminent domain action, and valued a business selling wholesale fishing worms caught in the wild by commissioned worm hunters.
