Business Valuation Resources, LLC is proud to bring you the Butler Pinkerton Calculator™

Use the Calculator, which is updated daily, to objectively quantify company-specific risk premiums (CSRPs) and TCOEs for guideline publicly-traded companies. (Yes, you read that correctly!).  Then, use these empirically-derived results to better support and defend your subject company’s cost of capital. In addition, the Calculator produces real time beta calculations based on your choice of six different market proxies.


The Challenge and the Solution:

Do you want to be the expert with CSR data or the expert without any data whatsoever? 

“To judges, the company specific risk premium often seems like the device experts employ to bring their final results into line with their clients’ objectives, when other valuation inputs fail to do the trick.”

-Delaware Open MRI Radiology Associates v. Howard B. Kessler, et al.

There are no tricks with the Butler Pinkerton Calculator (BPC).  The technique and this Calculator solve this major problem for the business valuation industry!

Whether you are a licensor or a visitor, with literally the click of a few keystrokes and some other input, you can quantify TCOEs and CSRPs for upwards of twelve publicly-traded stocks at any one time.  If you have more than twelve comparables, simply run the program again.  You merely have to tell the program what your comparables are, your look-back period, and other inputs which you normally use in any discounted cash flow calculation and the Calculator, in a matter of seconds, will give you your objective answers.

If you subscribe, you will also obtain FREE:

Three templates - These valuable templates guide you through practical examples of determining: 1) CSRPs, 2) TCOEs and 3) Combined company-specific risk/size premiums.

A new e-book published by Morningstar - This e-book, entitled "A Comprehensive Look at Company Specific Risk and the Butler Pinkerton Calculator”, is a compilation of the theory behind the technique and offers never-before published data.

What Others Are Saying...

“Now, instead of using the entire industry, we can choose better guideline data as a starting point.” 

Gary Trugman in Understanding Business Valuation: A Practical Guide to Valuing Small and Medium Sized Businesses

 

"I used the Butler Pinkerton Calculator™ on a case recently and when my damages were presented to the opposing party the case promptly settled in our client’s favor. The Calculator just feels right and is “esthetically pleasing” so to speak to the target audience because it is so market driven."

Jim Skorheim JD, CPA/ABV/CFF, CFE, CVA, CrFA

 

"I am convinced that valuation analysts should consider its application in every valuation where an income approach and/or a guideline publicly traded company method is considered.  This tool fuels the fire to ask even more questions and further the valuation process."

Donald P. Wisehart, ASA, CPA/ABV/CFF, CVA, MST

 

"Total beta is a widely accepted measure of risk in situations where investors are not well diversified.  The Butler-Pinkerton Calculator is a convenient and flexible tool for quickly arriving at an objective estimate of total beta and the company specific risk premium for a privately held company"

Keith Harvey, Ph.D., CFA, Boise State University
