Exit Planning | Financial Track Records | EBITDA Industry Multiples
Sell Business
Selling your business requires careful planning, preparation, and strategic execution.
By understanding your business valuation, preparing detailed financial records, presenting a compelling story, marketing your business, negotiating the sale, and planning for the transition, you can achieve a successful exit and maximize your return.
Exit Planning
Selling your business is a crowning achievement – it’s also guaranteed to be gut wrenching. We say that for every ten years in business, you’ll need at least one year of diligent exit planning. Timing your exit wisely requires precise preparation of your Target Valuation, Succession, and more.
Our team can help you run the numbers and navigate every step of this exciting chapter.
Financial Track Records
When selling your business, it’s essential that you have clear and clean documentation of your business financial track record. When buyers begin to sniff around, they expect your finances to be ready for due diligence and review.
Beyond just confirming your finances are tidy, we ensure the multiyear financial snapshot of your business will be a truly attractive investment to a buyer, and warrants a premium selling price.
EBITDA Industry Multiples
“Earning before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization” – EBITDA and valuation multiples draw a lot of industry buzz. The key is this… when selling your company, it’s essential that you know your company's financials better than your buyer. Industry multiples are a great benchmark, but knowing why your business is worth more and being able to defend it is paramount.
We’ll run the numbers necessary to defend your financial position during negotiations, and politely “educate” buyers as needed.
Selling seemed too daunting, so we announced we were going to close up shop. Then we got all these offers — I think that was when we knew we needed outside expertise.”
