Three excerpts

A bit of what's inside.

No empty teasers. Three concrete ideas you'll take with you whether or not you ever download the PDF.

PAGE 8 · EXCERPT

The "Adjusted EBITDA" trick

Buyers accept adjusting non-recurring expenses and personal expenses run through the company. But they require documentation. Without it, they see reported EBITDA and discount assuming the worst — 15-25% additional.

PAGE 14 · EXCERPT

The "20% rule" of client concentration

If your top client is worth more than 20% of your revenue, the buyer discounts proportionally to client-loss risk post-sale. Above 35%, many funds simply don't enter.

Why a filtered sale process destroys value

Sector leaks do three things: top clients reopen contracts, key employees update LinkedIn, competitors start "casually" calling your same prospects. Typical discount after a media leak: 20-40%.
