Private Capital Markets: Valuation, Capitalization, and Transfer of Private Business Interests (Wiley Finance) by Rob Slee

Rob’s first book mentioned above, “Private Capital Markets“, was published in 2004.  It is the first book to really document this important sector of American business. In business schools across the country, public capital markets receive the greatest scrutiny despite the fact that private business is the largest employer and greatest generator of GDP in the country.
Colleges are now starting to teach about Private Capital Markets and using this book as the text.

As a follow-up to this tome, Rob, through Pepperdine University, authorized a survey of banks, asset-based lenders, mezzanine, private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, business owners and other capital providers. The purpose of the survey was to understand the true cost of capital in the private business world, a heretofore little examined area.  He will reveal and analyze the results of this survey at the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors Summer Conference on July 20 at the Chicago Hilton.
