Business Valuation Discounts and Premiums

There is often more money in dispute in determining the discounts and premiums in a business valuation than in arriving at the pre-discount valuation itself. Discounts and premiums affect not only the value of the company but also play a crucial role in determining the risk involved, control issues, marketability, contingent liability, and a host of other factors that can make or break a deal. It is essential that every appraiser know when discounts and premiums apply and how to quantify them.

Shannon Pratt's Business Valuation Discounts and Premiums compiles all the key information you need to successfully and accurately determine discounts and premiums in business valuations. It explores the three areas of discounts and premiums-income valuation, market valuation, and the asset approach-explaining how different discounts or premiums may be applicable, depending on the basic valuation approach used, and how each approach can affect the outcome.

Filled with many never-before-published studies, the comprehensive coverage includes:
* Strategic acquisitions
* Extensive empirical data
* Pre-IPO marketability discount studies
* Merger and acquisition negotiations, empirical evidence from completed transactions, and positions taken by courts in litigation
* Strategic acquisitions on premiums
* Studies on minority discounts, available for the first time


Written by a recognized authority on business valuation, this book will help you master the complex issues and exploit the numerous uses for premiums and discounts to their utmost.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book contains chapters on other discounts the up until now we have only seen brief discussions on in the literature: Voting versus non-voting stock; key person discounts; discounts for trapped-in capital gains taxes; blockage discounts; non-homogenous assets (portfolio) discounts; and discounts for the environmental, litigation and other contingent liabilities. The final chapter entitled "Common Errors in Applying Discounts and Premiums" is a must for all of us when we perform a final review on our analysis and reports." --Linda B. Trugman (National Litigation Consultants Review, Dec 01)

From the Inside Flap

The most frequently contested money issue in business valuation disputes relates to discounts and premiums. When a valuation is conducted, the three basic approaches are the income approach, the market approach, and the asset approach, and different discounts or premiums may be applicable, depending on the basic valuation approach used.

It is essential for every business appraiser to become well-versed in discounts and premiums, when they apply, and how to quantify them. In Business Valuation Discounts and Premiums, Shannon Pratt, one of the nation’s leading business valuation consultants, brings together for the first time the collective wisdom and knowledge about all of the major business valuation discounts and premiums.

Clearly written and thorough, this book offers you guidance that applies to every major evaluation case you might face in any deal. You’ll learn:

  • The differences between "entity level" versus "shareholder level" discounts and premiums
  • How the valuation approaches used affect the level of value
  • How the standard of value affects discounts and premiums
  • What factors affect degree of control
  • Strategic merger and acquisition negotiations
  • The conceptual basis for the discount or premium that applies
  • Factors affecting the magnitude of the discount or premium
  • The empirical research results to support concept of portfolio discounts
  • Courts’ treatment of the discount or premium
  • How to determine acceptability or rejection
  • What legal mandates apply with regard to federal gift, estate, and income taxes; marital dissolutions; dissenting stockholder actions; corporate or partnership dissolution; employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs); bankruptcy reorganizations, and more

Most useful in this book are the many never-before-published new studies that provide real-world benchmarks that can be applied to your own cases.

Detailed, authoritative, and complete in its coverage, Business Valuation Discounts and Premiums demystifies one of the more complex challenges faced by business appraisers, and arms you with the understanding and techniques you need to perform your job to the satisfaction of all involved.
