Business Valuation: Using Financial Analysis to Measure a Company's Value

What determines a company's financial health and what drives company value? Knowledge on financial analysis and business valuation is not always accessible for non-financial specialists, such as managers with a more strategic focus. Nevertheless, having this intellectual skill-set can leverage the ability to make better strategic decisions. Therefore, the authors have structured this book in a way that enables non-specialists to grasp all relevant financial information, using tools that allow efficient financial analyses. For the benefit of the non-financial expert, the book starts by presenting the essentials of financial analysis and business valuation in a structured way. More experienced readers may find new perspectives for conducting financial analyses. Professionals who work with relatively 'static' financial data concerning solvability and debt will welcome the more dynamic financial toolset incorporated in the book. This toolset will enable them to get to the heart of the (financial) matter faster by focusing on relevant data. By making the relevant financial analyses, the book gives the reader a better insight in the company's value. Not just by explaining theory, but by also showing how an individual can use the output of the financial analyses to challenge the forecasted data that will determine the price received or necessary to pay.
