To conduct a business valuation, you can use methods like the income approach, market approach, or asset-based approach. Which one are you interested in?

Can you explain the income approach?

Sure! The income approach estimates a business's value based on its ability to generate income. It often involves calculating the present value of expected future cash flows.

What factors should I consider when estimating future cash flows?

You should consider historical performance, market conditions, industry trends, and any potential risks that could affect future earnings.

How do I determine the discount rate for present value calculations?
