Systemic methodology calculates size premiums for smaller private companies based on public company data
Martin Greene, author
Business Valuation Update, April 2006
The size premium can be one of the most significant components in estimating the cost of capital under the build-up model (BUM) or capital asset pricing model (CAPM) for smaller privately-held companies, yet frequently business valuators may apply the least quantitative measures to estimate its value. This article outlines a methodology to estimate the sp for smaller companies by extrapolating market returns and betas of larger publicly-traded companies; it also clarifies how to apply the estimated sp to the company’s cash flow under the BUM and CAPM.
