Asset-based approach values the company with a focus on its balance sheet. One widely used method under this approach is net asset value method. It derives values from the combination of fair market value (FMV) of the companyโ€™s individual assets and is commonly performed when the company is under acquisition, liquidation, or audit under different accounting standards (Damodaran, 2019b).
