From the supplier: A survey of 250 small companies that have been sold since 1995 was conducted to find out the best valuation method for predicting sales of a business prior to the actual sale. Results show that of 12 methods being considered, the corporate investment business brokers method and the net book value criterion were the two most reliable ones. The former method was best except for retail firms while the latter was found to provide a realistic picture of future sale price on an aggregate industry level.
