What Buyers Pay for Businesses

Business owners and Advisors frequently discuss company values in terms of multiples. But multiples of what? Earnings, Profit, Cash Flow and Multiples mean different things to different people. What type of buyer you attract, the way they measure cash flow and how they value your business depends on multiple factors.

Meet Tom Jordan

Tom Jordan is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), Certified Value Builder Advisor (CVBA), and Master of Science in Financial Services (MSFS). He is the published author of How to Exit Your Business With No Regrets and the creator of the Exit Readiness Trilogy™.

What separates Tom from most advisors is simple: he is not a broker. Brokers get paid when a deal closes. Tom gets paid to get you ready — years before you ever need a broker — so that when the time comes, you walk into the process prepared, not panicked.

Tom has personally been through two business exits. One failed badly. One succeeded — and even that one left him with regrets. That experience, combined with working directly with hundreds of business owners and over 1,000 hours per year in one-on-one engagements, is what drives everything he does.

“I'm not the person you call when you're ready to sell. I'm the person you call when you want to make sure you're never caught unprepared.”
