What are the multiples you’re seeing for business sales in XYZ industry? It’s the most common question I get from owners looking to sell. But here's the truth: industry multiples shouldn’t be your focus when determining the value of your business. We've all seen the industry standard multiples—two, three, five, or even twelve times—but do they really capture the full value of your business? No. Multiples alone can be misleading without considering the unique factors that drive true value. ✅ Businesses aren't identical: every company has a different market, model, and structure. ✅ Multiples ignore key factors: profitability, seller’s discretionary earnings, tangible and intangible assets, and cash flow matter more. ✅ Financing matters: can your cash flow support debt payments? This is a crucial part of valuation. A 12x multiple might sound great but if you can't get the deal across the finish line – why not make it 100x. What you don't know can be costly – we help eradicate uncertainty. You are not alone. We can help. To talk to me about buying, selling, business appraisals, and marketing services in Oklahoma – visit our website. https://lnkd.in/gSUiV2pd #BusinessValuation #SellABusiness #TrueValue

Thinking about selling your business but unsure if a full or partial sale is right for you? Today, we’re diving into the key differences between full and partial ownership sales and how each can impact your future, your involvement, and your business's growth potential. A full sale gives you a complete exit, allowing you to move on while maximizing the immediate financial return. A partial sale, on the other hand, lets you retain some ownership and stay involved, potentially benefiting from future growth. Ready to learn more about which option is best for you?

I had the privilege of chatting with John Downes about the common misconceptions and overlooked truths of business valuations. We discussed how a sound valuation goes beyond just a mix of art and science—it's about ensuring that the narrative aligns with the numbers. An experienced valuer ensures the story behind the valuation is clear and consistent, which is crucial in areas like tax, financial reporting and transactions. These valuations shape key decisions, from determining tax obligations to deciding if a deal moves forward. Watch the video below to find out more! https://lnkd.in/gPCgDMKw #ValuationsAdvisory
