The Small Business Valuation Book

Product Description
Determining the value of a small business can seem like an obscure and incomprehensible art form of interest only to potential buyers and sellers, and only when a business is about to change hands. The situation is complicated by the fact that there are a number of different ways to set a value on a given business.
The Small Business Valuation Book is an invaluable resource for business owners or buyers who need to make an accurate appraisal of a small business-offering easy-to-use techniques for determining a fair price, resolving disputes, and minimizing taxes.
In a clear and concise manner, author Lawrence Tuller outlines the major valuation methods, including:
Discounted cash flow
Excess earnings
Asset value
Income capitalization
He also describes 32 specific examples covering the entire range of potential valuation situations.
First shipment seemed lost, and after notice given I got immediate replacement. Thanks a lot!
Rating: 5 / 5
Recommended highly, but for persons with a strong background in Accounting, Business and Finance. Not for the beginner. A Harvard Education helps..
Rating: 5 / 5
Good book for general knowledge and some analysis. Needs more in-depth coverage in the area of micro businesses! One thing thoroughly frustrating was no reference to author’s site for downloadable contents like templates and or example spreadsheets which would provide for modifications to suit. Would highly recommend inclusion of cd-rom.
Rating: 3 / 5
Since my previous experience was in large companies, I bought the book to help me in the process of buying a small company. It gave me good insight of the differences when dealing with small companies. Good resource.

Provides a summary treatment of this subject, but a book I like better is “Unlocking the Value of Your Business”, which seems to be more complete, but easy to use and understand.
