Software developer MoneySoft(R), which has been creating software for valuing and
buying businesses since 1991, has introduced a new product that provides a six-step guide to help small-business buyers find and identify businesses that match both their needs and their values.
PDQ Deal Reviewer helps buyers define specific goals and parameters of a business that's right for them; accurately communicate those guidelines to
business brokers and finders; analyze preliminary financial information of the selling business; create a thumbnail calculation of value; and test different purchase price, payment and funding scenarios.
"The last step is critical in determining if the
selling business can provide the three key 'must-haves' of a good deal: will the business provide a reasonable salary, generate sufficient cash flow to service any debt and provide a return on the investment," said MoneySoft President Robert Machiz.
The easy-to-use PDQ Deal Reviewer also includes tools that clarify and measure 32 Business Motivators ("drivers") and 31 Personal Motivators as benchmarks to evaluate the desirability of businesses for sale.
"The PDQ Deal Reviewer adapts many of the same principles and tools used by Wall Street and private equity firms without the need for specialized training or experience," Machiz said. "The software guides the small business buyer through every step."
System requirements include Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and NT as well as Microsoft Excel 2007, 2003 or 2000.
PDQ Deal Reviewer is available for download at
www.moneysoft.com at a introductory price of $295.
