Master the Craft of Business Valuation
There are many different models for valuing businesses and stocks, but behind them are common foundations.
This Business Valuation Masterclass explores those shared foundations and demonstrates how different valuation approaches connect.
The programme begins with Discounted Cash Flow valuation, including the practical challenges involved in estimating discount rates, cash flows and expected growth.
It then moves into more complex valuation situations across different business life cycles and industries before examining relative valuation and how businesses can be valued by comparing how similar companies are priced by the market.
