Valuing a company or a venture is a core skill in business.
It is estimated that more than half of all merger and acquisition deals fail to deliver value for acquirers, the main reason being that they paid too much for acquisition targets. Valuing a business is a difficult task as it involves forecasting future profits and/or cash flows. The future is unknown and the risk of overvaluing a business is high indeed.
Valuing a business is partly an art and mostly a science. This one day seminar will provide an overview of best practices in discounted cash flow ("DCF") and earnings based valuations. It will cover the basic theories underlying valuation bases and then move into practical issues in valuing businesses.
