Valuation is a simple term to define; it is the process of estimating what something is worth. This could refer to you personally, your business, or even a patent.

Business valuation is a process and a set of procedures used to estimate the economic value of an owner’s interest in a business. Business valuation is used by financial market participants to determine the price they are willing to pay or receive to perfect a sale of a business.

In finance, valuation analysis is required for many reasons including tax assessment, wills and estates, divorce settlements, business analysis, and basic bookkeeping and accounting. Since the value of all things will fluctuate over time, valuations are as of a specific date. Valuations do not last forever; you will need to get them whenever a big event comes up. Remember value always changes.
