Business Valuation 101 Basics

Two of the most common questions we get asked are what:

What is a business valuation?
What are the best business valuations methods?

We have found that business valuation is often the most misunderstood process there is in business and most people do not understand that there are well defined business valuation processes that are followed to come up with a reliable estimate of the value of a business.

Over the past 15 years doing business valuations for many small businesses and SMEs, we have seen a wide diversity in the types of businesses - and a very wide range in value of a business.

So we have put together a whitepaper that:

Explains the basics of business valuation 101 in plain English.
Listed the typical business valuation methods.
Detailed the common business valuation formula used to determine the value of a business.
Answered the most common questions we get asked about business valuation basics.
