The asset approach represents a “non-going-concern” approach to valuing a business, since it assumes that the assets will be liquidated in order to derive the value. If this is done, the business will cease to operate, and therefore no longer will be a “going concern.” This approach is applied to operating businesses when there are no existing or potential earnings, and thus no value over and above the value of the assets that could be attributable to the earnings power of the business. 2, record 5, English, - non%2Dgoing%20concern
