1.     1. This method determines the business value based on the value of its assets. The idea is to determine the business value based on the fair market value of its assets less its liabilities. The present value of income is the measure of your business goodwill.

 

2.     2. This method determines the business value in comparison to historic sales involving similar businesses. A relationship between the business economic performance, such as its revenues or profits, and its potential selling price.

 

 

3.     3.This method determines the value of a business based on its ability to generate desired economic benefit for the owners. It determines the business value as a function of the economic benefit.
