If you’re the owner of a small or midsize company or are involved with one… here’s the book you’ve been waiting for! In clear, concise English it will teach you the basic concepts of business valuation, to help you maximize the value of your company in anticipation of a possible sale. You’ll learn what small and midsize businesses really sell for. You’ll be given a simple technique for determining whether the price you want for your business is reasonable. You’ll learn how to handle the balance sheet, how and why to recast financial statements, and how to determine the market value of your business. You’ll read about the six big mistakes commonly made by do-it-yourself business sellers. You’ll learn about the 17 “value drivers” that could enhance your business and improve your selling price. And you'll learn how to assess any investment and make money. You can't afford to not have this.

Path to Absolute Maximum Sale Price (of a Business) (Wall-size Edition) Map – Large Print

A clear and concise map that shows exactly how you can build value in your business and sell it for absolute maximum. Organized into four distinct sections, each a phase in the journey that leads to the sale of the business at maximum value: Phase 1: Build a Valuable Company Phase 2: Plan and Prepare for Sale Phase 3: Execute Sale Strategy Phase 4: Post Closing Under Phase 1, for example, two sections offer valuable guidance to business owners: “Accumulate Value Drivers” and “Eliminate Barriers to Marketability.” Listed are 18 value drivers and 11 barriers to marketability. To the extent a business owner can add the value drivers and eliminate the barriers to marketability, the value of his or her business will rise. Incidentally, the business will also enjoy enhanced profitability, lower risk and greater stability. Most of the map – indeed three of the four main sections – is dedicated to how a business owner should go about the process of preparing, packaging and selling his or her business. Until now, the map was available only to clients, but Acquisition Advisors has decided to release it to the pubic. The map format allows a tremendous amount of information to be summarized in an easy-to-read format.
