For the IDW S1 appraisal based on the income approach, your company\u2019s expected future earnings are discounted to the present day. Future risks associated with business activities play a decisive role here, including dependence on the entrepreneur, market diversification, and the degree of internationalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left mt0\">Differences in the fundamentals of the valuation arise in the case of a planned liquidation using the liquidation value method. Here, all inflows and outflows resulting from the winding up of business operations, the termination of personnel, and the sale of all your company\u2019s assets are taken into account as of the specified valuation date. Even in the case of a planned restructuring, the liquidation value serves as a benchmark for the minimum income value for shareholders and financiers to determine whether a company that is fundamentally capable of being restructured is worth restructuring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column partner_image_slider is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluemomentum-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AdobeStock_1243664951-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Do you have questions about business valuation according to IDW S1?\" class=\"wp-image-6927\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluemomentum-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AdobeStock_1243664951-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.bluemomentum-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AdobeStock_1243664951-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bluemomentum-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AdobeStock_1243664951-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bluemomentum-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AdobeStock_1243664951-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bluemomentum-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AdobeStock_1243664951-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group padding_section pt80 has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f3f3f3\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top  flex-reverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSI0MDAiIHNyYz0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS1ub2Nvb2tpZS5jb20vZW1iZWQvZGozYmdhbWl5NDg\/c2k9aTBMUlkzVmFSN3lIemZ1WiIgdGl0bGU9IllvdVR1YmUgdmlkZW8gcGxheWVyIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3c9ImFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXI7IGF1dG9wbGF5OyBjbGlwYm9hcmQtd3JpdGU7IGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYTsgZ3lyb3Njb3BlOyBwaWN0dXJlLWluLXBpY3R1cmU7IHdlYi1zaGFyZSIgcmVmZXJyZXJwb2xpY3k9InN0cmljdC1vcmlnaW4td2hlbi1jcm9zcy1vcmlnaW4iIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj0iIj48L2lmcmFtZT4=\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.bluemomentum-consulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_dj3bgamiy48_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.
