Learning Objective

  • To identify and analyze the components involved in the Risk Build-Up approach for business valuations.
  • To explain the significance and impact of various risk factors on the enterprise's discount rate in valuation methodologies.
  • To analyze the relationship between risk elements and the cost of capital in the valuation process.

Course Overview

This CPE webinar is designed to be a supplement to the introductory course on business valuations. It will cover the aspects of developing a risk buildup for valuation purposes. 

Build-up Approach is a method based on building-up particular elements of risk that constitute the discount rate in a given enterprise. The risk factors express the total return which may be expected by a rational investor due to the purchase of a given enterprise. It is frequently used in small and medium-sized businesses where comparisons to publicly traded company betas are not deemed to be applicable.

Key Topics Covered: 

  • Risk Build-Up
  • Cost of Capital
  • Depth of Management
  • Importance of Key Personnel
  • Stability of the Industry
  • Diversification
  • Geographic Location
  • Stability of Earnings
  • Stability of Earnings Margins
  • Financial Structure
  • Intangible Risks
  • Other Risks
  • Discount Rate
  • Sustainable Growth

In this CPE Finance webinar, we will cover areas where the valuation professional’s professional judgment is needed and how to support your professional judgment. There will be a step-by-step walkthrough of the process and examples will be provided (The examples are for demonstrative purposes only, and are not from a real engagement).
