Hello tutor!!
I understand when a company receive any takeover bid then its valuation is necessary but why valuation is necessary when company seek for additional finance?
Is the valuation requirement is compulsory for both equity finance and debt finance and what is the reason behind valuation for raising finance purpose ?September 4, 2023 at 9:46 pm #691355Valuations of the equity and loan notes of Coral Co might be necessary for the following reasons:
1. The company is planning to go to the market for additional finance: Valuing the equity and loan notes is important to determine the current market value of these securities. This information is crucial when seeking additional finance from investors or lenders.
