The value of a company or a stake in a company must be determined on a regular basis when a shareholder leaves or joins the company, when shares are acquired or sold, or in the event of corporate mergers.
The basis for a business valuation is always forward-looking planning and analysis of the subject of the valuation.
Business valuations conducted in Germany are often based on a valuation standard issued by the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (IDW), known as the IDW Standard “Principles for the Conduct of Business Valuations” (IDW S 1). According to IDW S 1, the enterprise value is generally derived from the financial surpluses generated by continuing the operations of the company being valued and disposing of non-operating assets.
