What is Your Firm Really Worth? Understanding Valuation for Professional Design Firms OCT 29 | 10am – 11pm
Think you know what your firm is worth? While “rules of thumb” may provide a general indication, a comprehensive valuation requires a more rigorous and informed approach. In this webinar, we’ll cover the basic valuation approaches as well as standards of value, levels of value, establishing the discount rate applicable to a particular firm and common valuation adjustments. Our valuation expert will bring all these components, and more, together into a conceptual framework for approaching the valuation of a professional design firm.
