Without getting into a complicated business valuation analysis, here is the take. For business valuation, where inventory is not a factor, a pretty standard ballpark figure is 2.5 x previous 5 year average net income with any deviation percentage as a factor. $25K x 2.5 plus inventory and negotiable goodwill. If you can't amortize the purchase price over 10 years, forget it. Nice thought, but she has been approached previously. If she doesn't watch it, she will end up with nothing. What a shame. As Jim said, I value some of my KR friends as true friends!! I would like to see this airplane prosper.
