Description
Which is the best valuation book for your needs? See what the experts say about Thomas Horn s Business Valuation Manual:
Takes the confusion out of finding the dollar value of a business. Takes the established methods used by experts and breaks them down into easy-to-understand, well-defined steps. Designed for both the professional and the non-expert, this book should appeal to business owners, manager, accountants, attorneys, lenders, business brokers, investment bankers, investors, business buyers, and business sellers. - THE NATIONAL PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
Gives the basics on such tried-and-true methods as the discounted cash flow method, capitalization of income stream, and excess earnings method. Although these technical sounding terms may scare anyone off but accountants, Horn s book is well-organized and easy to understand. After an introduction that provides a detailed list of the information needed and how to get it, readers can skip to whichever techniques best fit their needs. - REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE, FINANCIAL ADVISORS EDITION
This book is by far the best in making business valuation understandable to the average informed reader a joy to read. - THE REAL ESTATE APPRAISER & ANALYST

Unless you have a strong financial background, the language of business valuation can sound like some obscure dialect. For our money, the best primer is Thomas Horn s business valuation manual. Horn walks you through the process of valuing a business: when to undertake the job, how precise you need to be, how to gather and prepare the data. A glossary and occasional cartoons demystify the subject without trivializing it. Is the book oversimplified? There s no danger of that, according to Michael J. Roberts, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School. Horn explains the most common approaches to valuation and how to perform those analyses, he says. He also shows you how to adjust your financial statements accordingly. The book, Roberts adds, is useful even for company owners who have no intention of selling. It can be very helpful to look at your company as a potential purchaser would. It can show you where the real sources of value are and where the real potential to improve is. - INC. MAGAZINE

The easy-to-read, step-by-step explanations can be used by anyone to save themselves thousands of dollars in appraisal fees. The manual begins by outlining what type of information one must obtain during the evaluation process and how to go about getting it. It then goes on to present a breakdown of seven different valuation methods including guidance as to when each method should be used. Finally, the book explores how to most effectively apply the results of these calculations - OBER INCOME LETTER
