    The 3 Most Effective Methods to Determine Your Company's Value
    How much is your company worth? How much of that worth is attributable to your performance? Is a valuation for estate, or divorce, purposes a true reflection of the business worth? These are tough questions and they make calculating the selling price of a closely held company difficult.Although there are three generally used methods of valuation -- industry norms (usually based upon some multiple of earnings computation), comparable sales of public companies, and formula approaches -- no one method does a consistently good job of expressing the value of the closely held business for purposes of (the various types of) sale.Attempting to consider a purchasing decision, or structure a
