🎙 Exit Worthy — Episode 5

Valuation 101: What Your Business Is Actually Worth

📌 Forget what your buddy, your broker, or your CPA told you. Here’s how valuation really works.

In this episode, Ben Brickweg breaks down the harsh truth behind business valuations. Your company isn’t worth what you need, want, or hope. It’s worth what a buyer believes they can earn from it.

You’ll learn:

✔️ Why “I need five million to retire” doesn’t mean anything

✔️ What real buyers actually look for in a deal

✔️ How profit, risk, and transferability shape your outcome

✔️ The silent math that kills most overpriced listings

✔️ Why fantasy multiples are the fastest way to sit on the market

💬 Quote from the episode:

Your business is not worth what you need to retire. It’s worth what a buyer is willing to pay. Not a penny more.
