What's an "add-back"? 📊

When valuing a business, we "add back" expenses that won't continue under new ownership:

→ Owner's salary (buyer won't pay themselves the same)
→ Personal car, travel, meals
→ One-time legal fees
→ Above-market rent (if owner owns the building)

Add-backs can support a stronger valuation when they're legitimate.

But they must be DOCUMENTED. No proof = no credit.

The clean-books test 📂

Two years of clean, documented financials. Tax returns that match the story. Numbers a buyer's lender can underwrite.

Could YOUR business pass that test today?

No judgment — most can't, and it's fixable. But the fixing has to happen BEFORE the listing, not during escrow.

Honest answer: pass, or not yet?

How a business actually gets priced at closing day 🤝

Asking price is a starting point. The closing price reflects:
→ Documented SDE
→ Deal structure (cash, SBA, seller financing)
→ What's included: equipment, inventory, training period
→ The lease transfer

Price is a headline. Structure is the deal.

Buying a salon? 💇

Salon acquisitions turn on three things:
→ Booth rent vs commission structure
→ Whether the stylists stay
→ The lease — salons are location businesses

The chairs are furniture. The client list and the team are the asset.

Every business owner exits. The only question is HOW.

→ Planned sale at peak value
→ Rushed sale under pressure
→ Slow fade into irrelevance
→ Handover to family

Only one of these builds wealth. Choose intentionally.

Selling your business? The #1 mistake:

Waiting until you're burned out to start the process.

Exhausted sellers = rushed sales = lower prices.

The best time to sell is when business is GOOD and you have energy to engage.

Buyers pay for momentum, not desperation.

Plan your exit 2-3 years out. Your future self will thank you.

The 2026 business market in one sentence:

Fewer deals. Firmer prices.

Buyers are selective — but they're paying FULL price for the right businesses.

What makes a business "the right one"?

→ Documented earnings
→ Recurring revenue
→ Clean operations
→ Owner-independence

In a selective market, quality isn't nice-to-have. It's the entire game.

Thinking of selling? Let's talk about what YOUR business is worth.

Buying a business? Look past the P&L.

The real due diligence questions:

→ Why is the owner REALLY selling?
→ What breaks if the owner leaves tomorrow?
→ Are the "add-backs" legitimate?
→ What's the customer churn rate?

The P&L tells you what happened. These questions tell you what WILL happen.

On the market in LA: a staff-run mobile pet grooming business.

- Asking: $695,000
- Cash flow: ~$215,000 (37% margin)
- Revenue: ~$583,000
- Est. 2016 — 3 vans, one sitting idle (built-in growth, zero capex)
- Debt-free, SBA-eligible, recurring clientele in affluent neighborhoods

This is the modern service-business blueprint buyers compete for: no storefront, no lease, routes that run on the team — not the owner — and a third van ready to deploy the day a new owner takes over.

Interested? Let's talk.
