Program Description

This webinar will discuss the concept of the market participant as it relates to business valuation. It will demonstrate, using a large sample of transactions and several multiple regression models, that the market participant is related to the amount paid. It will show that, other things equal, public companies pay more than private buyers. This webinar will provide detailed information regarding the premium paid by public companies and relate this information to the private company discount and the discount for lack of marketability as well as how these results relate to the business valuation literature. This webinar also shows the importance of understanding the transactions data. In addition, it sheds additional light on whether S-corporations are priced differently than C-corporations.
