Abstract

Knowing how to value a business serves multiple purposes. First of all, this knowledge is used when selling a company, either wholly (outright sale) or partly (selling shares, issuing new shares). It is also useful when buying a company from your friends, in order to fine-tune your price negotiations. The value of your own company can also be used as collateral when taking out a large loan. Finally, to do a business valuation properly you have to ask some fundamental questions: Where does the company’s performance come from? Is it long lasting? What is the level of risk in its various business activities? How much would a financier’s expected return be?
