business broker (real estate licensee), but I suspect that unless
the business can actually be sold as a going concern (due to a
list of repeat customers), its value is basically the estate sale
value of the tools.</font><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Does anyone
have any suggestions on how to value a small sole proprietor
business for probate purposes that has less than a $1,000
worth of tools of the trade and less than $20k/year in gross
revenue? Given its small size, and that of the estate in
general, we’d like to avoid the expense of getting a full
blown business appraisal if possible. Thanks in advance, Cy
