On the surface, conducting a business valuation seems simple. Look at gross sales or profits and make a few quick calculations.
Beneath the surface however, are many considerations that significantly influence that valuation and can only be determined by thorough research and analysis.
- Nature of the business and its history
- Economic outlook
- Financial condition of the business
- Earning capacity
- Dividend paying capacity
- Prior stock transactions
- Existence of intangible value
- Sale of stock involving similar businesses
