It focuses on the income or cash flow the business is expected to generate in the future. This approach assumes that the value of a business is tied to its ability to generate income. Different techniques, like discounted cash flow or capitalization of earnings, are used to estimate the present value of future income. The Income Approach is useful for valuing businesses that generate consistent income and helps assess their profitability and investment potential.
