Business Valuation Discounts and Premiums |
| Shannon P. Pratt (Willamette Management Associates, Portland, Oregon) |
| Business Valuation Discounts and Premiums There is often more money in dispute in determining the discounts and premiums in a business valuation than in arriving at the pre-discount valuation itself. Discounts and premiums affect not only the value of the company but also play a crucial role in determining the risk involved, control issues, marketability, contingent liability, and a host of other factors that can make or break a deal. It is essential that every appraiser know when discounts and premiums apply and how to quantify them.
Shannon Pratt’s Business Valuation Discounts and Premiums compiles all the key information you need to successfully and accurately determine discounts and premiums in business valuations. It explores the three areas of discounts and premiums–income valuation, market valuation, and the asset approach–explaining how different discounts or premiums may be applicable, depending on the basic valuation approach used, and how each approach can affect the outcome. < | | |
