Über diesen Titel
Andy and Doug break down a common but costly problem for business sellers: running personal expenses through the company aka add backs and how that practice destroys value and scuttles deals. Using real examples from current engagements, they discuss cases with 30–40% of SDE tied up in personal expenses and explain the buyer and bank perspective.
Topics include valuation approaches (SDE vs. EBITDA), why lenders — especially SBA‑backed banks — have tightened underwriting, the trust and character issues personal add backs raise, and financing failures caused by unverifiable expenses. The hosts also cover practical next steps: getting a neutral third‑party valuation, cleaning up books (and converting perks to proper salary), deciding whether to sell now or keep-and-grow, and revisiting the market with clean numbers.
