The hidden truth behind business valuation with Julie Wilkinson

Build and Exit

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.
