Valuation for M&A: Building Value in Private Companies (Wiley Finance) Review
I am a professional business valuator and had a good understanding of the valuation process before I read this book. However, I did not know much about mergers & acquisitions (M&A). After reading "Valuation for M&A" I not only gained a clear understanding about M&A, but I got many additional insights into valuation work as well! Mr. Evans and Mr. Bishop break their book down into 16 well constructed chapters that take you through valuations for M&A step by step, with each step building on the previous one. They then tie it all together at the end of the book and provide an excellent case study as a bonus. The case study alone is worth the price of the book. This is a must read for business valuators, M&A professionals and business owners thinking about buying a new business or selling the one they own now.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Valuation for M&A: Building Value in Private Companies (Wiley Finance)" are high quality item.
