For many business owners and investors, putting an accurate value on a business seems an awesome task. But the importance of understanding how value is determined cannot be overstated, and the job needn't be left solely to professionals. The core principles of business valuation are straightforward -- easily within the grasp of most business people. This book demystifies the valuation process so that even people with no prior experience can realistically estimate the fair market value of almost any company. Following the ARM (Adjusted cash flow, Rules of thumb, Market comparables) approach, the reader will be well-informed in matters of: * Establishing asking prices, purchase offers, and selling terms * Planning and settling tax issues * Obtaining bank financing to purchase or grow a business * Estimating proper risk management levels * Implementing an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) ...and many more situations calling for fundamental and accurate business valuation.
