Book cover - Selling the Intangible Company

Books by Thomas Metz:


Selling the Intangible Company:
How to Negotiate and Capture the Value of a Growth Firm

John Wiley & Sons, November 2008
Hardcover, 326 pages


Companies with strategic value—as opposed to financial value—exist in a variety of industries, but they’re predominantly found in today’s ever-growing technology, software, and service industries. In Selling the Intangible Company, Tom Metz helps entrepreneurs and venture capitalists better understand the process and nuances of selling a company whose value is strategic. He addresses all the key issues surrounding the sale of a company in which the value is in its technology, its software, and its know-how—but has not yet shown up on its balance sheet.

Drawing from his 28 years of experience in this area, Metz reveals the best time to consider selling and debunks many of the myths surrounding the sale process. He offers invaluable advice on negotiating the price of an intangible company and identifies common negotiating mistakes. Metz explains why a CEO should not sell the company himself. Selling the Intangible Company provides the essential information necessary for business professionals and technology CEOs who need to understand the nuances of selling a company with intangible value.
