2. Business Valuation
Business valuations are needed for a variety of reasons
including financial reporting, purchasing & selling of a
business, mergers, buy/sell agreements, divestiture and spin-
offs, corporate carve-outs, corporate re-organizations, stock
options and incentives, collateral values for loans, succession
planning and more.
3. Business valuation is more of an art than a science
When valuing a business there are a number of issues to
assess including
• The dynamics of the sector in which the company
operates.
• The unique attributes of the company and how the
company compares with similar businesses.
• The market perception of the business.
4. Various business valuation models
There are various models available which will allow you to
evaluate the value of a business. However, inputs to these
models are based on judgment, which you will acquire from
having hands-on experience. The estimated value of a
business, when using any of these available models becomes
the focal point at which to put a price tag on any business.
