Reality check: when it comes to valuing a business, real market data can be more helpful than theoretical models

Article Abstract:

The theoretical models that are usually relied on when valuing a business are not as accurate as they are perceived to be. The insufficient reliability of these models becomes more obvious when one compares the assessed value to the company's final selling price. This weakness is the result of the inability of the accountant to access a feedback loop from the private marketplace. Valuation of a business, therefore, should be performed in relation to other businesses sold in the market.
