Gabehart

Mr. Gabehart is a CBA and licensed real estate agent and has an MBA plus two years in the Ph.D. Program in Economics at Arizona State University and has worked for Motorola and Schering-Plough as an Internal Auditor.  He developed and taught a private firm valuation course for Thunderbird (MBA program) between 1999 and 2006 and has authored books including “The Business Valuation Book” (published by the American Management Association) and has been interviewed by AOL for Small Business, Business Week Online and the National Association of Realtors just in the past year.

Program Focus
The webinar will provide participants with a practical and historical overview of current Small Business Administration (SBA) loan programs and the role played by certified business appraisers in their use and delivery from lenders to borrowers/buyers of small businesses (going-concerns). Emphasis will be placed on understanding the SBA valuation environment and recent regulatory changes which now mandate the use of “independent” appraisals obtained from “qualified sources” as defined in the new SOP 50-10(5) document effective August 1, 2008.

What You Will Learn
In addition to gaining knowledge regarding the SBA’s history and primary loan programs, participants will learn about the specific requirements put forth in the new SOP 50-10(5) publication as to when appraisals from “qualified” sources are required and what type of valuation reports are commonly requested by lenders. The relevance of USPAP and discussions regarding standard of value, premise of value and potential valuation methodologies will also be addressed within the context of SBA-guaranteed acquisition or “change of ownership” loans. Attendees will leave the webinar with insights into the potential market size, marketing tactics, common fee levels, the appraisal process and other distinctive elements of this professional valuation niche. Participants will also leave the webinar with a fair and realistic assessment of the “pros and cons” of this type of work within the universe of appraisal engagements available to professionals in today’s marketplace.
