Business Valuation FAQs

1.  Why can’t a “rule of thumb” be used to value a business?

While there are certain multiples of net income or discretionary cash flow that can be used for business entities, in general a rule of thumb does not consider a specific business’s financial characteristics, inherent risks, and ownership attributes.

2. What methods are used to value a business? 

Depending on the purpose of the valuation and the type of report required, an asset approach, an income approach, and a market approach may be considered.  Often times all three business valuation methods are used and a weighting of each is subjectively applied by the certified business appraiser when valuing a company.

3. Why are certain “discounts” applied to a business valuation? 

Depending on the ownership interest being valued, a discount for lack of control (if valuing a minority interest who cannot affect the business operations), a discount for lack of marketability (time needed to sell the interest), or both discounts may be applied to the value.
