OUR VALUATION METHODOLOGIES
a) Cost Approach
Cost approach is a general way of determining a value indication of a business, business ownership interest, or security using one or more methods based on the value of the assets net of liabilities.
In the valuation of a business, cost approach presents the value of all the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the company.
b) Market Approach
Based on the principle of competition, market approach assumes if one thing is similar to another and could be substituted for the other, they would compete with each other, then they must be equal in value. The fair value derived must be based on a sufficient number of comparable companies / market transactions in order to derive a relevant and meaningful comparison.
