Income Based Approach

The income-based approach is a way of determining the business’s value, ownership interest, or security. This approach involves estimating value based on expected earnings or future cash flows. Common methodologies that are used in this approach include the analysis of discounted cash flow.

Market Approach

The market approach is used to determine the business’s appraisal value, business ownership interest, or intangible asset by considering the market prices of comparable businesses or assets that have been sold recently or are still available. Price-related indicators such as price-to-earnings, sales, and book values are usually utilized.

Asset-Based Approach

The asset-based valuation method examines your company’s total value of its assets. These assets include your company’s tangible items, such as cars and real estate, as well as intangible assets such as intellectual property, like trademarks and copyrights. This approach is commonly used when holding investment firms, companies, and other asset-rich businesses.
