Small Business Evaluation Made Easy

About the Book

I wrote my self-help book Small Business Evaluation Made Easy to help first time business buyers and sellers, as well as real estate agents. I saw listings coming through my office with values that didn't make sense, and were not selling out of multiple listings. As a business appraiser, I decided to write a book to help brokers train their agents, as ell as helping agents who want to increase their income with listings that showed professionalism and values that made sense. And also make the reader aware of the numerous pitfalls one runs into in the buying and selling a business. I have also improved on my first book over the last 10 years.
