Business Transaction Value
The most prevalent reason to value a business is to determine a fair transaction price between a buyer and a seller. Depending on which party you represent, the motivation for seeking a valuation will differ. Arriving at a credible value requires analyzing several methods and approaches, synthesizing them to establish a well-supported range. In this process, common sense, informed judgment, and reasonableness are indispensable.
