What Determines Value?

Buyers seek businesses primarily for income potential. Key factors influencing value include:

  • A circular arrow encompassing a dollar symbol, symbolizing the concept of financial flow or transactions.

    Cash Flow

    Measured as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) or Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE). Higher cash flow typically leads to a higher selling price.

  • A triangular warning sign with an exclamation point in the center, representing caution or alert for potential risks.

    Risk

    Factors such as customer concentration, vendor reliance, economic trends, competition, key employees, and legal exposures are analyzed. Risk is quantified into a percentage known as a Discount Rate or Capitalization Rate.
