How it's done
Common business valuation methods
Market approach
The most common method for Main Street businesses. We determine the average owner benefit, then analyze sale prices of comparable businesses to derive benchmarks and establish value.
Income approach
Most common for middle-market M&A and businesses with predictable cash flow. A discounted cash flow analysis discounts projected future earnings at a rate reflecting investment risk.
Asset-based approach
Calculates value from the fair market value of assets. Typically used for underperforming businesses considering liquidation.
