Valuing Minority Interests: Global Education by iiBV (eLearning course)
Valuing a partial interest in a business is difficult, and when that interest is a minority ownership stake the impact to value can be significant. In this eLearning course, led by John Barton, you’ll learn methods to adjust for and quantify minority discounts. Control is a key issue, and understanding the multiple methods an appraiser can utilize is critical to a defensible valuation. With multiple methods and data sources, marketability discounts can be even more challenging, but module by module you can learn the pros and cons to utilizing each method.
Highlights of the course include:
- Understand levels of value and issues to consider for valuing minority interests
- Discussion of discounts for lack of control and control premiums
- Review multiple methods for determining marketability discounts with data examples
