# What is the difference between a market appraisal and a valuation? [video]

WRITTEN BYJames Price | JPAbusiness

Business market appraisals and valuations are both robust assessments of a business’ worth and are appropriate for use in different circumstances.

In this video I explain the difference between a business market appraisal and a business valuation and when each should be used.

 

Below is a table summing up the differences between a JPAbusiness Market Appraisal and a JPAbusiness Valuation.
