Valuation Methods
Professional appraisers can use three methods to determine the value ofa medical alarms business: The income method, the asset method and the market method. The income method determines value based on the amount of income the business is expected to generate.

Using recent medical alarms business sales as its foundation, the market method factors market conditions into the valuation process. All three methods have multiple variations and it's not uncommon for appraisers to use a combination of the three to determine the value of your business.
