Valuing companies in Italy
Article Abstract:
Italian methods of valuing companies are closely adapted to the business realities of the country, but are not appropriate for use in other countries. It is not possible to rely on stock market comparable statistics, and almost no comparable deal data is available. Statutory accounts for Italian private concerns do not really reflect their true profitability, and the significance of hidden revenues must also be taken into account. Italian valuing methods therefore tend to place more emphasis on assets than would be the case in Anglo-Saxon countries.

Italy goes for quantity, not quality
Article Abstract:
A three-fold increase was been recorded for the Italian buyout market during 1997, with value rising to 1.8 billion pounds sterling, although the absence of an extremely large deal during 1998 saw the market value fall to 392 million pounds sterling. The market is not reaching its potential mainly due to oppressive financial and legal regulations in the country which make it unattractive to foreign investors.
