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. Metz reveals the subtleties surrounding the sale of companies whose value is strategic, such as how selling a company with strategic value is different than selling a company with financial value. He identifies the best time to consider selling and debunks many of the myths surrounding the sale process. Drawing from his 25 years of experience in this area, Metz offers invaluable advice on negotiating the price of an intangible company and identifies the common negotiating mistakes. He also looks at how creative structuring can overcome deal problems. In addition, he 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.
