5. WHY EUROPEAN BUSINESS VALUATION STANDARDS ?
Business valuation is a natural offshoot for valuers proficient with the complexities of real estate.
Many TEGoVA member associations have members practicing both RE and Business Valuation
Young professionals wish to specialise in more than one area of valuation and to develop additional skills to adapt to rapid market changes. 
The modern holistic approach to real estate education provides an excellent technical and analytical foundation for approaching the valuation of businesses in general.
TEGoVA is undertaking a gap analysis between these two fields of valuation, enabling valuers to bridge the knowledge and skills gap and facilitate future educational programmes in business valuation
