Valuation for Privately Owned Businesses

Business valuation isn't just used when selling your business. It can serve as a periodic checkup. You'll see the process used to estimate the value of a partners' ownership and in retirement planning. It is necessary in disputes related to estate value and divorce litigation. This show explores the topic and includes important information such as factors that affect value and different approaches to valuation.
