AIC23 BV - How the Hypothetical Buyer Assumption is a Determinate of Business Value

Session Description

This session will provide a valuation example of value differences based on the likely buyer. In the acquisition of a going-concern business, the population of buyers with the greatest expected acquisition synergies will set the range of market prices that all potential buyers have to match. The expected acquisition synergies of a population of willing buyers can be strategic, operational, and/or financial. By considering the acquisition synergies of various populations (or categories) of business buyers, the valuation analyst can identify the most likely population of buyers that will establish the fair market.
