Do-It-Yourself Business Valuation Workbook - COMING SOON

Getting a business valuation done by a professional is expensive. There are some low-cost options available online. Generally, you plug in your numbers and get a printout that looks good but is short on relevant content. Now there is another option. For only $27.95 you can do your own business valuation using widely accepted valuation methods.   

A Do-It-Yourself Business Valuation is a good fit when you:

  •  Want a rough or ballpark idea of the value of your business or are just curious

  •  Are willing to spend some time learning about business valuation basics

  •  Are willing to do some basic number crunching

The first part of the Workbook is a primer on basic business valuation concepts and procedures. It will help you do a better job and to understand what you are doing and why. Some people skip this part and go right to the valuation worksheets. They use this part as a reference if they have questions or run into any problems.

 

The second part is the actual do-it-yourself part and includes worksheets (PDF file and Excel spreadsheets) to:

  •  Calculate the different types of earnings required for the various methods

  •  Assess your company's level of risk

  •  Calculate your company's value using:

    • Multiple of seller's discretionary earnings

    • Capitalized cash flow

    • Industry rules of thumb

    • Adjusted asset value

This workbook is designed to be as understandable and easy to use as possible, but you still may struggle with some of the concepts and procedures. You cannot expect to duplicate the years of training and experience of a business valuation professional by using this workbook. Your business is probably your biggest personal asset, so don't make major decisions based on the results of using this workbook. Spend the money to hire a professional.
