Publication: Handbook of Small Business Valuation Formulas and Rules of Thumb, 3rd EditionÓ
1993
ISBN #: 0-930458-06-0
Synopsis: Desmond’s Rules of Thumb has become the standard place to locate formulas or multipliers (for 133 different businesses) to use in gauging the value of a business. The formulas are determined by comparing company sales prices to company sales, profits or some other common denominator and then compiled to arrive at an average for the industry. Rules of Thumb offers a "middle of the road" indication of value within a broad range as actual company values vary greatly based on company assets, sales, customers, etc., when compared to the rest of the industry in which it operates. In this book there is also a section on valuing goodwill and other intangible assets.
