Buy/Sell & Valuation of a Business 

This webinar will show you how to calculate the value your own business, or, as a buyer, how to develop a range of values for a business you want to purchase.  This is a “plain English” presentation of how multiples, cash flow, and ROI fits into the valuation equation.  We will discuss factors that enhance a company’s value along with factors that lower a company’s valuation.  Do you know the critical risk factors that could make or break a sale?  How important are “add backs”?  What are the ten most common mistakes sellers make when selling a business?  This webinar will help answer these questions.
