Vietnam - what formula is used to value a business?

Hi all

When someone wants to sell their business in Vietnam, how do they establish how much it's worth - the sale price?

Cheers

Not much difference from how you sell business in other countries.

What method: depends on how sophisticated the sellers/buyers are.

Easiest is using some kind of multiplier: e.g.,
Revenue* multiplier 1= sales price
EBITDA* multiplier 2= sales price
Profit after tax * multiplier 3 = sales price.

More sophisticated methods: discount cashflow, EVA,... but don't think you need to know about them.
