Equity Business Breakfast: About company valuation
Introduction to company valuation methods and key transaction milestones that support effective investor preparation, targeted investor search and a successful company sale and exit, based on practical domestic and international deal experience, presented in an interactive Equity Breakfast format.

How much value does a company represent to investors, and where do they see real value? How is company valuation calculated in practice, and how does it translate into the final purchase price?
