Entrepreneurship: focusing on valuation of companies and intangible assets

The course will enable you to develop an understanding of the valuation of businesses and their intangible assets, including intellectual property (IP). The course will lead you step-by-step through the theories and main considerations you need to understand in order to develop an opinion of value. Real-life valuation issues will also be explored to further an understanding of how to work with imperfect data. The course will focus primarily on the future income approach for business and intangible assets valuations (although the market and cost approaches will also be considered). In addition, it will discuss the practicalities of valuation to support business and investment decisions.
