Valuation
What is a Valuation?
A valuation is a careful balance
between objective and subjective
measurements. On one hand, it takes
into account mathematical
calculations and business and market
information. On the other, it must
account for the unique circumstances
specific to the entity being valued.
A valuation expert uses knowledge
and experience to effectively
combine the objective and subjective
measurements within the analysis.
