This annual study covers over 2,400 actual businesses sold totaling over $400 million dollars. It is a stand-alone Windows program which accesses the data by SIC code, word search, sale size, and geographical area. Statistical analysis and graphing are also included. The sold businesses are compared by: sales price to gross sales, sales price to seller's cash flow, actual down payment versus all cash, rent as a percent of gross sales, the value of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and the value of inventory at time of sale.
