Quotes from 'How to value and sell your business':

'Remember Jack of beanstalk fame? He swapped his mothers cow (her main business asset) for a bag of beans and all he achieved was an angry business partner and a furious ogre in the garden. Cash would have been a much more sensible option'.

'Competitive advantage is now often found in data, design, creativity and in harnessing innovative ways of exploiting information, rather than building bigger factories. Branding and know-how are increasingly becoming the most significant way of adding value for both customers and shareholders. In summary, the most valuable modern day assets are to be found in our heads rather than our factories'.
