134% Swings: Welcome to the Subjective World of Valuations with Rob Goddard 49:34

۷ روز پیش49:34

49:34

Think Your Business is Worth More? Here’s What Buyers Are Really Looking At. Sellers often feel let down by their business valuation. There is a key principle that they overlook from the start of building their business that has a huge impact – their financial literacy. In this episode I am joined by Rob Goddard, seasoned M&A advisor, to unpack the real financial truths behind selling—or buying—a business. We break down the myths and misconceptions around business valuations, why adjusted EBITDA is more than just a buzzword, and the critical role financial literacy plays in building business value. You’ll also hear how real-world businesses prepared for sale, the impact of operations on valuation, and the key team members you need to get top offers when it’s time to exit. If you're building to sell—or just want to run a smarter business—this is the financial deep dive you can't afford to miss. "You need a robust financial report to sell.” – Rob Goddard You’ll hear about: The fact valuations often differ from perceived value due to various factors. Why a business's true value cannot be determined solely by financial statements. Financial literacy being a significant gap among many entrepreneurs. Robust financial processes are necessary for successful business sales. Why investing in financial management can lead to better business outcomes. How misleading ad backs can inflate business valuations unjustly. Outdated processes hindering business operations and financial accuracy.

The hidden truth behind business valuation with Julie Wilkinson 29:46

۸ weeks پیش29:46

29:46

Are you having a negative impact on the value of your business? So many business owners aren’t aware of the effect they are having on the value of their business before sale. They take on too many roles across the business, aren’t tracking what they pay themselves over the year, and all this impacts what they could be taking home from selling it further down the line. In this episode I go into the fundamentals of financial concepts all business owners should know to be able to sell their business for as much as possible. I cover EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and the impacts of salaries and dividends on valuations. With enough knowledge and a few adjustments, you can maximise what you can sell your business for. Listen up to find out how! "Are the decision you make maximising profit?" – Julie You’ll hear about: Why adjusted EBITDA is crucial for understanding business value during sales. The accruals concept helps match income with costs for accurate financial reporting. Business owners often overlook the impact of their roles on company valuation. Dividends taken by owners can distort profit margins and business valuation.

Triple Business Value by Changing Operational Structures with Julie Wilkinson 24:44

Will the business you are building last beyond you? Many business owners are building a lifestyle business rather than one for generational wealth. If you want to create a legacy rather than a job it all starts with you. In this, my first solo podcast episode, I explore what it means to build a legacy with your business and what you need to do to prepare for the future if you aim to sell your business. From understanding what generational wealth means, to implementing effective governance structures. I highlight the challenges of scaling a business and the role of financial leadership in ensuring operational efficiency and long-term success. It’s not too late to create your legacy, listen up to find out how! "Are you building a legacy or a job?" – Julie You’ll hear about: Educating business owners on acquisition and exit strategies. Financial controls are essential for scaling a business effectively. Generational wealth means creating a business that lasts beyond the owner. Many businesses fail to sell due to lack of preparation and knowledge. A CFO can provide strategic value, but timing is key.

The untold truth - the emotional toll of selling a business with Luke Winter 33:23

Selling your business can feel lonely and emotional. You are parting with the thing you have devoted a significant portion of your life to, and that can feel hard. But beyond that is an opportunity to re-invent yourself. In this episode I speak with Luke Winter, a creative director who recently sold his shares in the video agency Wallbreaker. Luke shares with great honesty the emotional toll the sale has had on him. From the moment of knowing it was time to try something new to a final week full of doubt, Luke experienced it all. Now, with the opportunity to explore his next steps, Luke emphasis the need for support and understanding during this transformative time. "It was a lonely experience." – Luke You’ll hear about: The emotional toll of selling is often underestimated. It's important to have support during the selling process. Many entrepreneurs feel lonely when selling their business. Routine changes can impact mental health during transitions. Navigating the sale requires clear communication between parties.

Imagine buying a business for £1 and it all goes wrong. The previous owners have been paying themselves with the staff’s wages but not paying the staff. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. This was the experience of my guest Charlie Norton. Charlie shares the whole story of how he went from a £1 business purchase to sinking £40k of his own money into the business just to pay off immediate debts, but that still wasn’t enough… He discusses why due diligence could have saved him from ever going through this challenging acquisition that he says left him in poor health because of the stress. He has since gone on to successfully sell his group of businesses and move on from this experience. Charlie's experiences highlight the complexities of business acquisitions and the importance of learning from failures to inform future decisions.
