This video is about getting to to Acquisition Lab but it’s not complicated. If you want to buy or sell a business please remember that valuation is not price. Use the tools for valuation to get to price, and that’s it. Owner/managed: 1-2x adjusted NP plus NAV. Managed: 2-3x adjusted NP plus NAV. Over £500,000 adjusted NP with management: 4x plus NAV or max 5x inc. NAV. Strategic assets like skills, patents, contracts etc. add a 1x multiple. As a seller leave working capital in the business and understand that you won’t get all your money at the front end, deferred consideration is a fact of life when selling businesses (unless they’re very small). BTW I know what I’m talking about, I e been selling businesses for 20 years on a no-sale, no-fee basis, meaning that if I don’t price it right for both buyer & seller, I don’t make any money.
Great content!!! I've listened your book, which as was a worthy purchase on audioble, but I didn't see (actually I don't remember) the approach on "No money down". What is you though on this kind of transaction?
He is like really right. I'm persian and like freaking 90% of us are calling ourselves contractors. Including me and our family. However most of them work either are the only person in their business or have 1 or 2 workers. Buying their business in senseless as the only customers they have is people who them. Not their busienss. so I think knowing the source of income is very important. Is it from random people buying ice cream? Or there are like 5 general contractors annually ordering a limited amount of tiles?
As a real estate broker/ investor for over 10 years I am finally looking to invest into businesses. Do you have any spreadsheet templates on AL that covers evaluating?
Absolutely. Acquisition Lab was anchored in world class education. The content begins where Buy Then Build ends. Myself, a curriculum consultant, and two other instructors build the content. After hiring a PE firm to build my model for the Lab, I pitched it and built my own based on what I use. We use it with case studies--including live ones, in Acquisition Lab. You should check it out and see if it's a fit. The real benefit is the community--all on the same page, with the same language and tools.
We are based in Australia , we wish to sell our railway power products supply business. Supplying products approved by Australian railway authorities to couple of State Metro Rail network companies. Wish to sell our small business and have immense potential to scale up. this business mainly need funding and wish to retire. Hence would like to sell the same and if required ready to work for a year for "transferability."

Thank you. I have a small business I want to sell but everything I watch is for larger business. Appreciated.
You are so welcome!
What kind of business are you looking to sell?
It shouldn’t make any difference, I’ve brokered deals from £60,000 to more than £60,000,000.
Subbed thanks Walker!
Is there a way to email walker for a possible international partnership
