Business ValueXpress™ (BVXTM) is one-of-a-kind deal making tool for transaction valuation, financing, and deal structure analysis. BVXTM not only computes "best value", but also determines impact of financing, difference between Stock and Asset purchase, value of a strategic buyer - and more. Its one-screen interactive operation helps develop deal structures to close the deal - or prevent/modify an unrealistic one at take-off. BVXTM is a paradigm shift in business valuation. There are no subjective inputs, nor multiple methods. Yet its results equal closed deals - independent of size or type - because, BVXTM "negotiates" the needs of seller, buyer, bank, mezzanine lender, IRS, and the business itself. One user describes BVXTM as "a laser guided thermal deal making tool". Regular license fee: $600/yr. MBBI special: $400 for the first year license - a saving of $200!
