Bulletproof Entrepreneur #79 The exact playbook to 3 x the value of your business - Graham Stephen of Bizval
What if your business isn’t worth what you think it is?
What if it’s less than you think? What is it’s more?
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: most owner-managed businesses never sell.
Not because the founders are lazy or stupid…But because the business just isn’t sellable in the eyes of a buyer.
So Today, we’re fixing that.
I’m joined by Graham Stephen, CEO and co-founder of a company called Bizval.
His team helps entrepreneurs get a proper, defensible valuation.
without a £50,000 big accounting firm invoice - or 80 pages of jargon! - and then they break down the key steps you can take to improve your exit valuation.
So this episode is a bit different.
During our conversation, Graham screenshares a live valuation of a very typical business:
It’s a £10m revenue marketing agency, decent profits, happy owners.
On the surface, it all looks great.
But under the hood?
There are a few issues that are keeping the valuation down in the eyes of a potential buyer.
He then plugs in the key numbers and data…
And you’ll hear how that business comes out at a valuation of around £3.7m today.
Then we apply some smart strategic moves and pull a few specific levers – nothing crazy and all highly achievable as part of a focused strategic exit plan.
And suddenly the model shows a path from a £3.7m valuation to over £10m.
- Same business.
- Same owners.
- Very different outcome.
And one other thing, Graham has kindly agreed to offer a very useful discount to the standard cost of your evaluation and strategic plan.
There’s a link to the discount code below.
So, if you’re an entrepreneur and your business is your pension, your exit, your family’s future – this episode will make you think very differently about your business value and how to optimise it.
Let’s face it, you’re probably only going to sell once - and it’s likely to be the most significant financial transaction of your life.
And so this next hour or so could make all the difference to you when that time comes.
Let’s get into it.
