Understanding Cash Flow Levels as a Buyer
We often hear that a certain business or industry is priced at a multiple of 'cash flow.' But, what exactly is the number we're supposed to be multiplying?
In this talk, David will be describing the commonly used levels of cash flow and what kinds of businesses would normally be using them for valuation purposes. This is important because if you apply a multiple to the wrong cash flow level, you'll end up overvaluing the business or missing out on an opportunity. We'll be discussing Net Income, SDE, EBITDA, EBIT, FCF and other measures of cash flow in this workshop. As a bonus, I'll go over some of the most common errors I see in calculating them as well.
, Private Transaction Advisor
Keeping a Good Management Team in the Business You're Acquiring
How you support the outgoing owner will have an impact on retention in the existing team. Your hands will be filled with operational matters. Some owners need help taking the right actions to smoothly exit the business and look forward to life after the business. Learn the steps we use to help outgoing leaders and remaining employees navigate the transition without disrupting operations.
, Founder of Succession Strength

Looking for a credible SBA financing eligibility letter on your business listing or as a business buyer?

How to Sell to a Strategic Partner
Scott Duke walks though the process strategic buyers use to evaluate opportunities, the initial discovery process, how they place value on a business, and how they make offers. If you are interested in maximizing your exit multiple by targeting a strategic buyer (Private Equity Group, Family Fund, Competitor, Supplier, or Institutional Investor), this session will be of great value. Scott will also cover the 8 alternative ways to sell a business outside of a strategic exit so attendees have an understanding of all their exit options.
, Founder of OpnRoad
How to Prepare to Search & Find Worthwhile Opportunities
You can’t buy it if you can’t find it. That’s why the savviest buyers, before searching, learn how to prepare themselves to find the right businesses to buy the right ways. Poorly prepared people, who cannot show their advisors worthwhile deals, are the #1 reason why attorneys, accountants, lenders and others kill deals or have trouble with clients. Business brokers, too, suffer from ill-prepared “buyers.” Don’t believe me? Ask them.
