Share valuation determines the economic value of an individual shareholding, taking into account not only the value of the business as a whole but also the rights, size and marketability of the specific stake. Consultants first estimate enterprise or equity value, then apply discounts or premiums for minority position, lack of market, control features or special terms. This is common in shareholder buy-outs, disputes, employee schemes, family business succession or regulatory submissions. A rigorous, well-explained valuation reduces conflict between parties and gives accountants, lawyers and tax authorities something solid to rely on.
