Cashflow After the Exit · Business Owner Exit

What is your business worth? And after that?

This is not a formal valuation — that requires accountants, auditors, and comparable transaction analysis. But this map gives you a sense of magnitude: roughly what your business might fetch, and how many years the net proceeds could sustain you.

What you should actually know

EBITDA multiples are not industry-fixed

Our multiplier is the industry median. Within the same industry, scale, growth rate, customer concentration, compliance history, transferable contracts — all move the multiple ±30-50%. Real valuation comes from comparing your specific business to comparable transactions.

Owner dependence is the biggest discount lever

If a buyer perceives "this company dies without the owner," the multiple immediately drops by 30-40%. Documenting the transition off daily operations 18 months before sale is often the most profitable work an owner can do.

The real question isn't "can I sell" — it's "what comes after"

We've seen too many owners 3-6 months post-exit: an account holding a number they've never seen, but waking up not knowing what to do. "Money" and "asset allocation" are different problems. The day the money lands is the day real planning begins.

Think about after, before

If you're considering an exit, what we can offer is more than valuation — it's the complete planning to translate "business assets" into "family assets". This usually needs to start 12-18 months before the sale: trust structures, generational succession, family governance, passive income allocation.
