What Determines Value?
Buyers seek businesses primarily for income potential. Key factors influencing value include:
-
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.
-
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.
