An asset valuation is an analysis used to estimate the value of an asset or ownership interest for a defined purpose. In business appraisal work, that may include a closely held company, controlling interest, minority interest, or business-related asset. The conclusion is informed by relevant financial, operational, ownership, market, and engagement information.
