Who specialises in valuation of a small business? My client is self-employed with a strong client-base and needs to sell this within 6 months as he is emigrating.

What industry?
I have a client in the IT industry who is selling up and has an excellent agent on board. I'm sure if he can't help he will know someone who can?
I took the last 3 years statutory accounts, the next 3 years forecast, took an average (although you're supposed to put more weighting on future profits).
Thanks. I have just realised that business valuation is one of the core modules that my son is studying at University, so have asked him to have a look into it for me (good practice for him!).

although its a very inexact science.

Then used this link: http://biz.yahoo.com/p/sum_conameu.html
to find the industry average price to earnings ratio, along with P/E ratio's for other similar companies.
