With all the emphasis and interest on consolidation, business valuating has become a "hot topic." However, valuating your business has other applications. Business valuation is essential when expanding your business or selling your business to your children or key employees. It is also necessary when you want to merge with another shop and plan to sway stock. If you are measuring your business against similar investments or businesses (ROI), if you are considering stock option plans for employees, or if you are splitting up a partnership, you must determine what your business is worth. Business valuating can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be. This course discusses how to determine what your business is worth.
