Deep dives
Understanding Business Valuation
A business is worth significantly less when the owner is heavily involved in its daily operations. Investors typically prefer not to buy a job, meaning they are reluctant to acquire a company that relies entirely on the owner's presence for its function and success. Statistics suggest that valuation can drop by 30 to 50% if the business is operated by the owner. Therefore, entrepreneurs need to recognize that running their business like a job can be detrimental to its long-term value.
