The four commonly discussed business valuation approaches are the income approach, market approach, asset approach, and cost approach. The appropriate approach depends on the business, the ownership interest, the purpose of the engagement, and the available information. A valuation may consider one approach or reconcile multiple approaches to develop a supportable conclusion of value.
