Today’s topic we want to touch on is what the pool of potential buyers of your business, when we boil it down, are looking for. Now, if you’ve thought about selling your business–or are even just wanting to keep your options open, we want to help business owners, such as yourselves, reverse-engineer what private equity (PE) firms are evaluating so you can begin preparing now—before you may be even ready to sell. The goal is to position yourselves as a premium, investable company, not just a profitable one. 

Today, I want to talk to you about why analyzing your business using a segmented P&L is essential in today’s business environment if you want to remain/become competitive in growing your profitability. 

Maybe you’ve asked:

"My Revenue is up, we’re growing topline… but I don’t see my profits and more importantly, my cashflow reflecting this growth?"
