You don t know what will get you!

I say business is risky and the things that get you may surprise you…

Because these business owners and their stories will likely never be part of any Ted talk.

They’re comments about what can really happen in the world of small business.

But you can’t often hear them, because they’re whispers usually.

Business and Asset Values: How Owners, Buyers, Sellers, Lenders, and Advisors Should Think About Sma

What makes a business valuable? Why can a profitable company still be difficult to sell? Why can old machinery be worth more than its accounting value? Why does one business have substantial goodwill while another depends almost entirely on its physical assets? Business and Asset Values explains how value actually works inside privately held businesses. Written for business owners, entrepreneurs, investors, buyers, sellers, lenders, accountants, lawyers, advisors, and appraisers, this practical guide explores the forces that cause value to grow, weaken, transfer, or disappear. Drawing on years of experience in small-business transactions, financing, valuation, and machinery and equipment appraisal, David C. Barnett shows why value is never just a number. It is the result of cash flow, risk, market demand, asset quality, transferability, financing conditions, and the expectations of real buyers and sellers.

This book isn’t written for Wall Street titans or Silicon Valley startups. It’s for the real business owners who carry the risks every day. If you own a small or mid-sized business — where your signature is on the loans, your family depends on your success, and unexpected setbacks could jeopardize everything you’ve built — The Business Fortress was written for you.

Barnett and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional Mark Willis reveal a practical blueprint for entrepreneurs who want to protect their companies, their wealth, and their future.
