What are the factors that affect the determination of the fair market value of the companies?

When you do a study or assessment of the companies must be taken into account all the factors that may affect the determination of the fair market value of the company Among these factors are the following: 

1. The economic conditions of the state as a whole. 

2. the company's performance and financial indicators. 

3. Date of establishment of the company, profitability and expected rates of profit. 

4. The demand for the company's products or sales volume. 

5. competitive position of the company compared to other companies, which have the same conditions. 

6. Legal status of the company.
