Value a business by analyzing financials, choosing a valuation technique, comparing sales in the market, including assets and goodwill, risk and growth opportunities, and fine-tuning to reflect the demand and interest of the buyer in this industry.

A business is usually priced by evaluating its profits, assets, market value, and growth potential, using methods like earnings multiples, discounted cash flow, or asset-based valuation, while also considering industry trends and current market demand.
