GOAL OF VALUATION
The goal of such an appraisal is essentially to estimate a fair
market value of a company. So, at the outset, we must clarify
what is meant by “fair market value” and what is meant by “a
company”. It is defined as "the price at which the property
would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller
when the former is not under any compulsion to buy and the
latter is not under any compulsion to sell, both parties having
reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.” When the asset being
appraised is “a company”, the property the buyer and the seller
are trading consists of the claims of all the investors of the
company. This includes outstanding equity shares, preference
shares, debentures, and loans.
