This book uses realistic case studies to show how valuation is used in buying or selling a business to another individual, in business succession planning, in setting a price for an employee to buy into the company, in a financial settlement when a business owner gets a divorce, and in an acquisition by another company.
Owners and their advisors should know when to have a valuation, what are the pros and cons of different valuation methods, and how to answer the questions that a valuation analyst will ask about the company. This book helps the owner and his/her advisor to manage the valuation process in alignment with the owner's strategic goals.
