Overview
This course focuses on the fundamental concepts for determining discount and capitalization rates for use in business and intellectual property appraisal assignments. The recently released and enhanced Cost of Capital Professional platform produced by Business Valuation Resources will be used to provide a hands-on demonstration of how to build and support a reliable discount rate for use in valuing closely held business and intellectual property.
Highlights
Receive a solid overview of the fundamental concepts underlying cost of capital in the context of a closely held business with particular focus on the use of a build-up model. Where the data comes from will be a key focus, as will the areas the require subjective judgement with respect to supporting growth rates and unsystematic risk elements.
