as a fellow business broker in a sea of really bad business brokers, I really appreciate people like Trent Lee and their excellent education and advice here.
Great video..! To those of you whining about the 45 mins, wake up and realize it takes time to teach you how to do it in 5 minutes and a good lesson is worth the time.
If your company doesn't quite fit any NAICS category what to do? Should/could you use the NAICS of your main customer that you do work for? This has to do with multiples.
@@Grejegandostrange I noticed some billionaires raise the value of their personal brand then the business for example I worth that much cause if you do business with me you won't fail interesting very very interesting 🤔🧐🧐🧐🧐
Heard about a guy who was buying a small radio station and everything looked good on paper. What he didn't realize ithe leased land that the radio towers were on the lease was not going to be renewed. The cost of leasing or buying new land and moving the towers was going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Sounds like most businesses don’t understand how marketing works - they don’t know how much they can spend to acquire a new customer - they’re inscaleable
I'm in construction, and the owner of the company said he did $3M gross revenue, had $2.8M going out the door, and thinks the value of the company is like $5-6M with no assets other than perhaps 40k in used tools. Sounds to me $1M is more realistic for 200k cashflow and no assets.
You should check out my video I did about acquiring existing businesses. It's a great in-depth podcast I recently recorded =) ruclips.net/video/9leARnqe2A8/видео.html
Unfortunately our broker her it totally wrong. The top pay on any business will be 2 to 2.5 x the net profit. That means you make your money back between 2 to 3 years from the time you buy the business. After that it’s your profit depending on the lease terms. Good luck
Just watched this video which I found very helpful. However I had checked out Trent’s website and I’m running into the same over priced business. Practice what you preach…I’m kinda disappointed.
Paying multiples of 3 to 5 range under a million or above one million 5 to 8 range??? That is ridiculous to pay those multiples. We are not talking about IBM or Apple. I merge a lot of companies, you would have to be crazy to pay those multiples. I would never use a business broker, you can find deals all day long without them and pay .8 to 2.5X SDE. Most brokers represent the seller and will not share commissions so you as a buyer have no one really working for you, find a consultant to help you buy. Toby is amazing but sorry you will go broke quickly paying these multiples.
I’m glad someone else said it. I can think of loads of businesses that aren’t even worth x1 I’m enjoying the discussion but this cookie cutter multiple formula makes me wonder….
So much great info! How can i get a consultation??

Great info. Thank you. What are some of those co,s that Trent mentions (37:38) that teach how to run/grow bsns ?
Good day! Can you do a video focusing on LLC taxed as C corp? I think it will work best for my situation. Thanks
Thank you for your suggestion! I'll definitely consider creating a video on LLC taxed as C corp.
great info !!! thank you Both !

Fascinating!
what about inventory when your a distributer!, were does that piece fit in?
Great video BTW this is excellent content
Shouldn't it be a 5-minute or less video?
You're right but maybe 15 minutes to give each point the time it deserves.

Where does the working capital deduction from the sales price come into multiples?
Well two things missing 1. What is the business broker’s fee and 2. You did not discuss and future projections based on CGAR

How would you recommend approaching a direct competitor to acquire them? Getting into discussing financials could be sticky.
Don’t you get sue for anti trust?
One of the better videos
How is reputation of the company valued?
Great insights and easy to follow and digest the information that has been presented.
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you found the information helpful.

Great video. Thanks Troy. Toby - do you have a video that covers how to set up a business that wants to acquire other businesses?

45 minute podcast is not 5 minutes or less
Not 5 minutes guys
5 minutes or less in a 45 minute video.
Sounds more like a business real estate advertisement...hmmmm

well then how come the video is 45 min long? LOL
5 minutes? The video was 45 minutes long. Does it take an hour to cook minute rice?
Thank you for watching! The 5 minutes mentioned in the title refers to the specific part of the process. Sorry if I mislead anyone.
how to value business in 5minutes, but video 44 minutes
