• Comprehensive Valuation Methods: Various valuation methods were explored, including EBITDA Multipliers, Discounted Cash Flows, and more, each appropriate for different business scenarios.
• Strategic vs. Calculated Value: The importance of understanding different types of values such as strategic, calculated, and transferable value was discussed, emphasising how a buyer’s motivations can dramatically affect the perceived value of a business.
