Valuation Business

Understanding the enterprise, as property, does not coincide with the notion of «business». Business - an enterprise in action, and its value exceeds the value of the property complex of the value of the so-called intangible assets, inseparable from the human potential of the company (experience of the labor collective, established connections and relationships with customers, communication with public authorities and other unrecorded assets). It is the presence of intangible assets can be attributed to market the attractiveness of some firms with negative equity. What will be the object of evaluation in case of need to assess the business, because business is not subject to civil rights?

Business Valuation (determination of business value) of existing companies is somewhat different from the evaluation of enterprises as property complex. This difference is due to the fact that business - the concept is broader than the property complex.

Market valuation of the property complex of the enterprise (business valuation) means the determination of monetary value of tangible assets of the business as a commodity, that is, their usefulness to a potential buyer and the costs required to obtain this utility.
