Learning Objectives
Distinguish differing risk factors between large companies and micro and very small companies
Collection of qualitative data, which I refer to as “soft data,” such as internal soft data (processes, management, etc.) and external soft data (economy, industry, etc.) and then the application of findings to valuation cash flows and risk adjustments
Develop a discount and capitalization rate using the buildup method (BUM) for the income method as it pertains to micro and small businesses. Particular emphasis on industry risk and specific company risk and growth rate
Review a projection or forecast to determine suitability as a cash flow for the discounted cash flow method
Describe common missed cash-flow issues in the capitalization of earnings and/or terminal value year
Explain integrating the balance sheet into micro- and small-business valuations. Considerations include estimating working capital and excess current assets, included and excluded assets and the effect on value found, and going-concern issues in capital-intensive industries
