Valuation Approaches and Techniques
We consider the following market standard Approaches:
Income Approach: We consider the expected future cash flows of the business and then apply a "risk measure" to account for the expected risk of those cash flows.
Market Approach: Based on the transactions of other private businesses similar to the subject business. For larger businesses, comparing them to similar businesses that trade on a listed/public exchange; and
Asset Approach: We value your business based on the sum of the expected current fair market value of each of the assets and liabilities.
Detailed valuation reports written to "regulating valuation agency" standards ALWAYS consider all three approaches. While summary appraisal reports may consider only one or two approaches.
