During today's show we discuss business valuation fundamentals, key terms like EBITDA and seller's discretionary earnings, and the different types of valuations (e.g. fair market value, investment value).

Today we cover how exit strategies can significantly impact the valuation, with strategic sales to competitors or private equity often commanding higher multiples than management buyouts or ESOPs.

This show also covers valuation methods like market capitalization, revenue/earnings multiples, and net asset value. It provides guidance on properly forecasting future cash flows and using historical data, emphasizing the importance of considering the industry, economic conditions, and the specific buyer when valuing a business.

Finally, we discuss strategies for valuing intellectual property as a separate asset.
