What is a business worth?

When investing in a business it is important to understand it’s potential. Not only the obvious potential of the building but also the affect the business being run from that building is having on value. Is it about to blossom and flourish or wither and die? What affect is the current proprietor having on the business? When they leave will the business leave with them?
