Business Valuation – In Detail (GSTBookkeeper)
What is Business Valuation?
Business valuation is the process of determining the economic value of a business or company. It is used in various scenarios—raising investment, selling the company, issuing shares, or ensuring compliance with laws like FEMA, Income Tax, or Companies Act.
Valuation goes beyond numbers—it reflects the true potential, assets, liabilities, brand value, market position, and future prospects of a business.
