From the Inside Flap
The market approach is an increasingly popular way to determine a business's value—for both buyers and sellers. Praised for its objectivity, this approach reviews the annual sales and other financial variables of comparable businesses for guidance in valuation. When well implemented, the market approach is the model most favored by the IRS and the United States Tax Court.
You could say that Shannon Pratt wrote the book on the market approach. Published in 2000, his groundbreaking book The Market Approach to Valuing Businesses set the standards and explained the theory and methodology for this evolving approach. Expanded and updated to encompass the latest rulings and source data, the new Second Edition is an indispensable reference for beginning and experienced appraisers, intermediaries, buyers, sellers, attorneys, CPAs, or judges.
