BVWire is a conducting a series of short surveys to investigate how appraisers derive cost of capital in their valuations of private companies. The first survey examines the overall approaches experts use, and future surveys will examine the various inputs and other aspects of the process. This first survey is only five questions, so it will just take a minute or so to complete. All responses are anonymous, and we will present the results here.
