If you are in the Boston area on December 9th, attend Chris Mellen’s (Delphi Valuation Advisors) presentation “Building Value in Private Companies” at the Exit Planning Exchange breakfast meeting.  During the session Mellen will discuss “the metrics needed to maximize our clients’ companies’ value, how we can help them determine their return on investment in their company as part of their overall investment strategy, and how value depends on the many exit options available to business owners.”  Mellen and Frank Evans (Evans and Associates) recently published the second edition of Valuation for M&A: Building Value in Private Companies. An excerpt of the book appears in the upcoming December issue of Business Valuation Update.
