Realities of Today's Marketplace

Only VALUware 6.0 Produces Dependable and Defendable Results based upon  Realities of the Marketplace and Experience Gained Transacting more than 2,000 Business Sales

VALUware 6.0 is Unique
and is
more than a business valuation program.  

Only VALUware 6.0:

Only VALUware 6.0 is based upon experience gained from the actual sale of more than 2,000 businesses and is grounded in reality instead of theory.

Takes into consideration the reality that different types of buyers will pay different prices. 
Every other program on the market lumps all buyers into the same mold and fail to reflect the reality that different buyers pay different prices. Failure to realize this reality can produce a flawed valuation.

Outlines the prices the different buyers in today's market can be predicted to pay.  A business may be deemed worthless by one yet be worth millions to another.  The VALUware package illustrates why this is so.  

Profiles the best buyer for the business and the price and terms the best buyer should pay.  This is feature is important to both buyer and seller.  

Shows how to increase the value of your business or the business you acquire, without declaring increased profits or book value

Illustrates how the availability of financing, or lack thereof, plus financing terms all impact value. Calculates the cash price of the business when financing is limited or restricted

Illustrates how factors other than dollars affect price.  

Comes with a companion book that illustrates how motivations, perspectives and expectations, of the four categories of buyers in today's marketplace, combine to impact the perceived value of any business and why different buyers pay different prices. 

VALUware has its origins in the field and was developed and refined through use by intermediaries and business brokers over a ten year period.  The methods employed are those used by today's business buyers and not formulas found in a text book or the favorite methods of an author.

Provides a mirror copy of VALUware 6.0 in an Excel workbook for the convenience of those who prefer the open environment and ability to customize that a spreadsheet version allows.  This feature is especially appreciated by business brokers/intermediaries and financial professionals who wish to customize their reports or address special situations.

The program's output is easy to read and understand.  After reading the report you will know why the value is what it is and, most importantly how to increase the value.

I am forwarding this (letter) to you with total enthusiasm and admiration for what 
you have managed to do with your  VALUware and "In & Out of Business. . . Happily."

 VALUware 6.0 can also be used:

As a Succession or Business Continuation Planning Tool.  Remember VALUware 6.0 generates a Profile of your Ideal Buyer or Successor and provides a Transaction Structuring Tool so a "Win Win" Price and Terms can be developed quickly.

To Create Value by grooming your company to be purchased by "the best buyer."  For example: One company determined its value to be approximately 1 million dollars but, based on the information gathered from "In & Out of Business Happily" and VALUware 6.0, determined the company could be worth as much as 5 million if certain conditions were addressed so as to be attractive to a different group of buyers..  The conditions were addressed and although the income statement and balance sheet remained essentially the same, the company sold for 5 million in CASH two years later to the type buyer identified earlier.

Wealth Creation through Acquisitions  VALUware 6.0 and the book "In & Out of Business Happily" provide the how and why as to why prices or "multiples" vary from one company to another.  Learn how to buy for a low multiple of earnings, say 3, and instantly make those earnings worth a multiple of 5 or an increase in the multiple of 2.  If the earnings of the acquired company in this example were $500,000 then 2X this number equals $1 Million Dollar overnight increase in wealth!!  

To Provide a Periodic Financial Check-up - Simply enter your latest financial data and instantly you have a comparison of key ratios with former periods to see how you are doing.  Check on the improvement in Value of the company. Your accountant would have to charge you many times the cost of the program just for this report.
