Economic Value explains the nature and measurement of business value, the sources of business value and how to increase the value created by your business.

Business Purchase or Sale

When you are buying (or selling) a business, you need to consider:

• What is the business worth to you? What is the business worth to the counter-party?
• What are the risk features of the business and what are their implications for value?
• Can the business be improved? How can it be improved? By how much can value be increased?
• Should you be buying (or selling) the business at all?
• What should be your bid/offer, negotiating and decision strategies?
