Exit Strategy & Business Valuation Workbook

Description

Every business is eventually sold, passed on or closed, and the best outcomes are planned years ahead. This workbook explains the common ways US small businesses are valued, including seller’s discretionary earnings multiples, EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples and asset-based methods, and provides an Excel calculator that produces an indicative valuation range from your financials and a value driver scorecard showing what buyers pay more for. The guide covers exit routes such as sale to a third party, management buyout, family succession and acquisition by a competitor, the typical sale process and a three-year value-building plan template. Educational material, not a formal appraisal or financial advice.
