Small Business Purchase lets you calculate what a business is worth to you, what it is worth to the vendor, and then sets out a bid/offer and negotiating strategy that will take you to a win-win outcome.

This innovative and powerful software brings clear thinking to the economics of business valuation and to the design of your negotiating and decision strategy. The entire process is directed to maximizing your economic position – deciding whether to purchase the business at all, determining the maximum price at which you gain from purchase, establishing the best offer and negotiating and decision strategy.

Small Business Purchase focuses on the value-creating features of a business, while also alerting you to the value-destroying features which are frequently found in small businesses. Small Business Purchase allows for all of these in calculating business values. Small Business Purchase then cuts through the glamour of the acquisition game and the psychology of the deal to the nub of the matter - achieving a win-win situation for both buyer and seller (so that a deal becomes possible) and doing this in such a way that your outcome is maximized, so that you get a good deal from the purchase.
