With rarely touched on subject matter and a writing style that conveys clearly what are usually complex topics, I was hooked from the start. Zachary recognizes from experience the importance of business owners having a grasp of business valuation at all steps in their career, from mergers and acquisitions to succession planning. He takes the time to lay the foundation, couple it with examples and then summarize the main takeaways. And during no part does he sound like a salesman or anything more than just someone who's had a front row seat to the dangers of what can happen and wants to help others avoid it. There is no "here are the pitfalls... and it will be three easy installments of $29.99 to find out more," it's "here are the issues, here's what to look for, here's who to talk to, and here's what you can do to avoid it all."This book is a bible for leadership in small or closely held companies and should be read by everyone involved with the running of the business now and in future generations. Take a few hours out of your day to read this book and to reference back to it when needed and you'll have the tools you need to ensure that you avoid hundreds of legal billable hours, the loss of a hard-earned nest egg or worse in the future.
I would recommend this book to any owner of a closely held business. The author does a great job of explaining complex topics in a way that the lay person can easily understand. If you are the owner of a closely held business, then Section Five of this book is a must read. The author does an excellent job of explaining the dangers of using the typical "boilerplate buy-sell agreement language" common in most governing documents and provides practical solutions that could literally save you and your company from financial ruin.In short, the typical buy-sell agreement is littered with landmines that could have devastating financial consequences if and when they are triggered. The reason is simple, they are typically drafted by lawyers who lack the financial expertise to properly value closely held businesses. Off the shelf boilerplate buy-sell agreements do not adequately account for the unique aspects of individual businesses and therefore result in erroneous business valuations when triggered. The author does an excellent job of walking the reader through the "Business Owner's Solution", which is a much more thorough and ongoing approach to business valuation designed to spare the business owner from the pitfalls of the "off the shelf" boilerplate buy-sell agreements.
Highly recommend taking the time to read this book. Zach does a great job bringing you up to speed on the world of valuation. This book is extremely helpful for business owners or people that work with business owners. I had several "take always" that we started implementing right away in our practice. Thank you Zach for a great book!
A "must" have book!! You won't regret one bit all of the knowledge and information you will comprehend and consume. Excellent resouce! Worth every word and penny.
