This is the audio version of “How Business Valuation Really Works.”
In this episode, Sara Vaziri and Gordon Lin discuss how valuation professionals determine what a business is worth and the factors that can significantly influence enterprise value.
They break down the difference between a business valuation and a formal business appraisal, explain what EBITDA measures, and walk through the three primary valuation approaches: market, income, and asset-based valuation.
Gordon also shares insights into how buyers, investors, and valuation professionals evaluate risk, future cash flows, company size, profitability, growth potential, recurring revenue, and customer concentration when assessing a business.
The conversation highlights why valuation is not just about current earnings. It is also about sustainability, transferability, and how well a business can perform beyond its current owner.
