What is Business Valuation? A Scenario-Based Exploration

Join us on a journey to learn about business valuation and why it is a foundational concept for business of all types and sizes at various points in their lifecycle. Business decisions involving valuation concepts can be informed by data analysis and quantitative models (the science) but also involve strategic thinking, negotiation skills, and leadership (the art). Determining the economic value of a business is both an art and a science.

In today's dynamic economic landscape, the ability to assess the value of a company is a critical skill for investors, entrepreneurs, financial analysts, and anyone involved in mergers and acquisitions, litigation support, succession planning, and financial reporting.

During the presentation we will explore valuation scenarios at different stages of a business’ life cycle and discuss factors that influence how their valuations are calculated including, but not limited to:

• Economic conditions, industry trends, and market sentiment
• Key financial metrics including revenue, profit margin, growth rate, and debt levels
• Impact of brand, customer base, intellectual property, and other intangible assets
• Implications on tax-planning strategies
