How business valuation works?

There exist 3 main ways in which businesses can be valued. The first is the multiples method (earnings are multiplied by an industry standard number), the second is the assets method (the business is worth the liquidatable value of its assets), and the third and most accurate is the Discounted Cash Flow methodology. This method is far more complicated, and is typically utilized by finance experts. The oversimplification is the business is worth the sum of all of its future cash flows, discounted back to the present using a discount rate. The discount rate includes inflation, risk adjusted return on investment, and other factors. I had my business valued by EZaluate.com and was extremely pleased with their work. They use the DCF method and it was only $149.
