Public companies are actively traded on a stock exchange, which provides potential investors the market value of a company, at any given time.
Market value for private companies is not readily available, making a business valuation more complex. Each business valuation is unique and requires an understanding of the business dynamics and value drivers. Issues such as, normalizing adjustments• One-time large bad debt expense when a customer became insolvent
• Owner(s) Oilers tickets
• Professional fees paid for a lawsuit, redundant assets• Investments in stocks & bonds
