    If you were to decide you were ready to exit out of your business today, do you know what it is worth? Have you had a professional evaluation done? If you have not you should look to have one done. In fact, since my interview with Laurie, I decided to follow her advice and start that process just to know and have an understanding.

She is also a partner at a boutique M&A firm and hosts the Succession Stories Podcast. Laurie’s experience as a CEO of a privately held company that was acquired inspired what she does today.

    How to Value a Company: Numbers You NEED to Know When Selling Your Business

    A couple of weeks ago, I talked to somebody who didn't know how to value a company and what the valuable asset in their company was. I was kind of surprised, honestly. But then I thought…

    “Wait a second! Probably more people don't know that. So, maybe we should talk about it!”  

    So today, we're going to talk about: 

    - selling a business

    - how to understand what a company is worth 

    - how to figure out if a market is right for you

    I’ll dive into the topic using numbers and comps in the marketplace, explain how the stock market trades in multiples with the P/E ratio, and show how to value a company based on specific revenue numbers and multiples.

    So stick around, we'll get into it right now.
