Book Overview

The ABCs of company valuation--for first-time buyers and sellers Until now, books on company valuation were all high-priced professional volumes aimed at accountants, appraisers, and other specialists. At last, A Basic Guide for Valuing a Company provides the ideal resource for novice buyers and sellers. Written by a management consultant who has valued more than 1,000 small businesses, this nuts-and-bolts guide covers all the bases, from the differences between publicly traded and privately held firms to tangible and intangible values. With case studies of actual companies, sample balance sheets and income statements, this is a clear, concise--and thorough--reference. Additional highlights include a list of common valuation myths, and a special section on "Yegge's rules," along with complete information on: * Valuation techniques for different types of businesses, including professional practice, manufacturing, wholesale distributor, and retail hardware. * Weighted cash flow and reconstruction. * Industry and economic forces that affect valuation. * The task of estimating values in small companies. * Necessary data for comprehensive business valuations.

Great resource for novices

Will Yegge has the unique ability of being able to present a difficult subject in a logical, intelligent, concise and interesting manner. Even though I have no background whatsoever in accounting, I was able to follow the information in this book and use it as my primary guide in valuing a company that I was interested in purchasing. It is a great resource for novices.

Excellent on both the "art" and "science" of valuation.

Just what I needed as a small business owner who needed a basic understanding of both the art and the science of valuing my company. Heavier read than it looks, since I didn't needed to know everything about non-related businesses. I did need to know how what factors must be considered and how complex some deals could be. Yegge speaks from experience and that is obvious, helpful and most comforting.

A good book, If you need an overview about this topic

The title of the book is very explicit, "A Basic Guide", If you are looking for a general explanation about the valuation process and you are a bussiness related person, you will easily understand this book. It explain a new concept in valuation named "Hybrid Method", which is an interesting author's theory. But, if you are looking for a deep technical detail about this topic I recommend "Valuation" of McKinsey & Co...
