Business valuation is a process used to estimate the economic value of an owner's interest in a business. Valuation is used by financial market participants to determine the price they are willing to pay or receive to effect a sale of a business.

Among many techniques of business valuation some of the commonly used approaches are are the income approach, the asset-based approach, and the market approach. Within each of these approaches, there are various techniques for determining the value of a business using the definition of value appropriate for the appraisal assignment. A number of business valuation models can be constructed that utilize various methods under the three business valuation approaches.

Business valuation is typically conducted when a company is looking to sell all or a portion of its operations or looking to merge with or acquire another company. Buying a business, selling a business or leveraging a business's value to raise funds can be quite complex and there will always be situations where one party to a business transaction will have more knowledge about the transaction than the counter-party.
