About this book
Valuation is the natural starting point toward buying or selling a business or
securities through the stock market. Essential in wealth management, the
valuation process allows the measurement of the strengths and weaknesses of a
company and provides a historical reference for its development.
This guide on valuation methods focuses on three global approaches: the assetbased
approach, the fundamental or DCF approach, and the market approach.
Ultimately, this book provides the basics needed to estimate the value of a small
business.
Many pedagogical cases and illustrations underpin its pragmatic and didactic
content. However, it also contains enough theories to satisfy an expert audience.
This book is ideal for business owners and additional players in the business
world, legal professionals, accountants, wealth management advisers, and
bankers, while also of interest to business school students and investors.
