What are some of the challenges that are unique to valuing a very small company?  To help answer this question, as well as many other questions specific to very small companies, Business Valuation Resources has posted a Free Podcast containing the highlights of the Valuing the Very Small Company teleconference, which took place on April 30, 2008.  This 17-minute podcast with interviewer Stuart Weiss and speakers Gary Trugman CPA/ABV, MCBA, ASA, MVS (Trugman Valuation Associates, Plantation, FL), Ron Seigneur MBA, CVA, CPA/ABV (Seigneur Gustafson Knight LLP, Denver), and Stacy Collins CPA/ABV (Financial Research Associates, NY) focuses on the special circumstances unique to valuing a very small company.  Some of the concepts covered include complying with valuation standards on a tight budget, when a calculation of value is appropriate, documentation requests, and how forensic accounting factors into the valuation.
