In the complex world of business today, valuation has moved from a specialist exercise to a daily discipline. Prices, deals, audits, disputes, and restructurings — each demands a number that is both defensible and explainable. The term fair value is everywhere (and, just as often, misapplied). Alongside fair value, businesses routinely lean on related bases — historical cost, replacement value, net realisable value, and present value — to negotiate, report, and decide. Add to this the aftershocks of a pandemic, war in parts of the world, and the mounting reality of climate risk, and the task of valuing a business has been pushed into truly uncharted territory.
Illustrated Guide to Business Valuation was written to make that territory navigable — clear in concept, rigorous in method, and practical in application. My aim is simple: demystify valuation without dumbing it down, and equip readers to move from “what the model says” to “what the business is worth — and why”.
