Editorial Reviews

Review
"For those interested in a more in-depth analysis of how to run a small business.." -- The Wall Street Journal

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars More about managing that buying a business, August 12, 2003
By A Customer
This book wasn't bad, especially for the price, but there are better ones out there. ("The Upstart Guide to Buying, Valuing and Selling Your Business" for example.) About half the book is special situations or special types of companies, which is great if you happen to be one of those but not if you aren't. This book did cover the basics of business valuation, but I actually found it more useful for looking at the value of a business as a tool to improve its operations.

2.0 out of 5 stars not bad but , December 1, 2004
By Avid bookster "Jim" (Salt Lake City) - See all my reviews
This book is good for a quick overview of some valuation methods, but I found it to be a little too simplified, although it's not bad for mom-and-pop retail and service businesses. If you are actually don't going to do the calculations and want more professional results, take a look at "Unlocking the Value of Your Business".
