The income approach is one of three major valuation approaches, used by investment bankers, valuers, and surveyors. Its applications include business valuations, property valuations, intangible asset valuations, and financial instrument valuations. While the principles underlying the valuations of different assets are similar, some specific considerations or modifications must be made for each asset.
The quality of the valuation by adopting the income approach depends on the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions. And making the assumptions requires a combination of business and technical considerations. Appropriate use of the income approach can give insight into the assets/business for the users of the valuations. In this workshop, the income approach are discussed from a critical perspective so that the audiences can interpret the messages brought by the valuation in addition to the concluded values.
