OUR VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

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.

c) Income Approach

Under income approach, it is required to forecast the future benefit streams over a reasonably foreseeable short term and an estimate of a long term benefit stream that is stable and sustainable. Using an appropriate discount rate, the future benefit streams (in the form of cash flow) are discounted back to the valuation date as present values and summed up to derive the fair value.
