Business valuation trends have evolved with changing economic and market dynamics. Currently, several significant trends are shaping this field. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors are gaining prominence in valuations, reflecting the increasing importance of sustainable practices in business. The pandemic has amplified the focus on intangible assets like intellectual property and brand value, influencing their impact on business valuations. Real-time or "mark-to-market" valuations are becoming more relevant as market volatility and digitalization create the need for up-to-date assessments. Additionally, the rise of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) introduces complexities in determining fair market value. Staying attuned to these trends is essential for business professionals involved in valuations.
