Course Description
Often, the reason for a valuation is for the purchase or sale of the business. According to the Small Business Administration, approximately 10 million baby boomer-owned businesses will change hands between 2019 and 2029, or about 1 million business sales per year from this segment alone. In fact, independent valuation analysts value companies of all sizes and types, from sole proprietorships to large corporations. The buying and selling of businesses is not the only reason for the demand for valuations. A valuation might be needed for strategic planning, tax issues, or litigation support. A valuation analyst plays a crucial role in determining the economic value of businesses.
This course is designed to help you navigate the complexities of valuing a business. It begins with an introduction to valuation principles and theory. It also includes an easy-to-understand explanation of the generally accepted business valuation approaches and methods with many examples.
