Business Valuation For Dummies (For Dummies Series)

The dummy book gives more information that the more expensive hard bound valuation books.It is written in language the even my clients can understand. It should be required readingfor all business majors, since nothing practical is being taught in today's Marxist curriculum.It has more rule of thumbs than I have fingers and toes. It has valuation formulas for all the commonbusiness classifications.

The book Business Valuation for Dummies is a very basic introduction to the world of business valuation. It feels like more of an overview of what to look out for or situations that cause a need for valuation. A few data ratios are given on what to look out for but the rest just recommends to hire a professional.

It's well written for both beginners and professionals, and let's you have a good understanding on the steps needed for a comprehensive business valuation, whether you are a seller, a buyer or an advisor.

I am an M&A professional so valuations are key in my business. As of recently (August 09), I now have a decent book that I can hand out to my interns as an introduction. I've read many Valuation books over the years and this is the best intro I've seen to date. Not that some of the others were bad, rather, this one is really really good. Good show! Five well deserved stars!!!

Easy to read and understand book that provided the basics and helped clarify questions.

Ok as very general introduction into the subject matter. I realize it's a for dummies book, and I've read several of them before, but I feel a little more in depth information would have been vary helpful. Maybe super dummies would like this, but regular dummies like myself could've used more useful info.

Nice quick start for subject. Wish there had been a template or sample valuation, model, or discounted cash flow to follow.

Very informative for a small business owner. Eye Opening for start up or small business owner with no accounting experience
