testlogin - The Art of Business Valuation

Sample documents, calculations, checklists, and other examples (“Documents”) are provided on this website.  These Documents are for educational purposes only.

Efforts have been made to ensure reasonableness of the Documents provided but no representations or warranties are given as to the work’s accuracy or compliance with any credentialing bodies standards or with any jurisdictional, or user (for example, IRS, SBA, etc.) requirements.  Use at your own risk.

In some cases attempts have been made to explain additional thought processes, requirements, and reasoning in the comments.  These comments serve as detailed annotation and help the reader further understand the thought process required in preparing a business valuation.  Again, this is the “Art” or professional judgment part of business valuation.

We understand that in many situations other methods and other findings could be found.  Business valuation is very fact and situation dependent and small changes in any factor can change methods used and findings.  You must always apply your professional judgment.

Please note the book covers many more situations and more detail on some of the situations addressed in the Documents.  Always refer to the Book and to other valuation books and experts.
Remember: “Does this make sense?”
Clearly there are many ways to present these estimates and findings.  We welcome submissions for possible publication on the website of additional reporting styles, formulas, work product and updates to the book or anything that might be useful for valuators valuing businesses under $10,000,000 in revenues. Visit  <a href=”http://www.theartofbusinessvaluation.com”>www.theartofbusinessvaluation.com</a> or send data and/or a request to <a href=”mailto:info@theartofbusinessvaluation.com”>info@theartofbusinessvaluation.com</a>.  Please note there is no assurance of confidentiality on any information submitted or sent to us.

The calculations and formulas on working Excel Spreadsheets are believed to be accurate but cannot be guaranteed.  Many files will require further adjustments to change for changes in situations.  Please be careful to be sure that an updated file is completely updated.

There is a high risk of broken formulas and other problems as files are modified so please exercise care.
