Overview

In order to value a business that might be bought or sold, we learn how to look at historical acquisitions of similar businesses, to estimate a fair transaction or takeover value of a business. This session is complementary to Trading Comparables Valuation, but rather than listed peers, looks at recent historical deals where control was achieved by the buyer, to give a sense or fair value in a transaction context. This technique is used in M&A advisory and Private Equity to estimate the value of an entire business and the synergies that might be achieved by a buyer, rather than a small parcel of shares.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
