business valuations – cash free, debt free; net asset basis; working capital adjustment

199 views

In the context of M&A or business/company purchase and sale transaction, the purchase price seems to be based on one of either cash free, debt free basis with working capital adjustment or net asset basis of a company.
Why would a purchaser chose one over the other / what factors would be taken into account in deciding the basis of the business valuation

Isn’t net asset and working capital potentially the same thing?

Working capital is the net of the **current** assets and liabilities (cash, short-term debt, receivables/payables, inventory, and anything else that typically turns over within a year).
