Accurately analyze and appraise any business with the most trusted guide to valuation

Originally published more than 40 years ago, Valuing a Business set the standard for excellence in the appraisal field and is the world's most respected valuation reference.

This edition reflects the substantial advances in the tools and sophistication in business valuation, as well as new appraisal standards and regulations that have evolved since it was last published in 2008. These advances fall broadly into three categories:

• Increasing consensus among the valuation professional organizations on standards, methodology, and terminology
• Updated appraisal rules, regulations, standards and guidance issued by governmental, or quasigovernmental, and professional bodies
• Major advances in the quantity, quality, and accessibility of empirical data available to support business valuation conclusions

Valuing a Business provides thorough coverage and step-by-step analyses of virtually every topic important to you, including standards and credentials, valuation theory and principles, gathering data, site visits, financial statement analysis, writing reports, buy-sell agreements, litigation support services, and much more.

This landmark resource is a complete one-stop compendium of information on the full range of valuation concepts and methods.
