The word value means different things to different people. Even to the same person, value means different things in different contexts, as we discussed in the previous section.
Without carefully defining the term value, the conclusions reached in the valuation report have no meaning.
Is the objective of the valuation to estimate fair market value, market value, fair value, true value, investment value, intrinsic value, fundamental value, insurance value, book value, use value, collateral value, ad valorem value, or some other value?
Valuing a Business: The Analysis and Appraisal of Closely Held Companies ebook is a good option. I wouldn`t recommend to buy a hardcover, but for me the digital version worked well. Shannon P. Pratt, Alina V. Niculita is a top-level prefessional!
