About this listen

Say goodbye to scratching your head in confusion. This business-valuation audiobook could be the answer for which you're looking....

Whether you're looking to buy or sell a business, invest in the stock market, become a business angel, or simply get a better idea of what your business is worth, this audiobook contains the information you need.

Each type of valuation method is introduced in turn: assets-based, revenue-based, and earnings- and cash-flow-based, along with discounted cash flow and "rule of thumb" valuations. This audiobook will show you how to calculate the value of the business. You'll also learn the strengths and weaknesses of each method of valuation: where they're useful and where they are of limited value.

Does that sound as if the audiobook is a dry, mathematical program? Far from it. Business Valuation: The Ultimate Guide to Business Valuation for Beginners, Including How to Value a Business Through Financial Valuation Methods contains real examples and talks about the "art" as well as the "science" of valuation. You'll also get a chapter that is focused on due diligence ("kicking the tires").

Once you've listened to this audiobook, you should have a good handle on how to value a business. Maybe you won't be a highly paid McKinsey consultant, but you'll have what it takes to know what a business is worth, and you'll have enough smarts to avoid the obvious traps and pitfalls, such as "dressing up" profits. That can make the difference between selling your business at a price that funds your retirement and coming up short - or the difference between buying a great business at a good price or paying over the odds for a moribund company.
