Ep.#1 [THEME SIX]
Today we are kicking off theme six, How to Grow The Equity Value of Your Business.
In this episode, Ryan Tansom is going solo to explain what's to come in the next couple of weeks within this theme. He explains the importance of setting a proper (and achievable) financial goal based on what you, as the business owner, want to take home in distributions each quarter.
Ryan explains how setting a proper financial goal will help you become strategic with your budgeting and reinvest into the company with a desired ROI each quarter.
This episode is a high-level overview of this theme. Throughout this series, we dive deep into financial planning, tying marketing into your financials, and discovering an easier way to map out your processes and procedures.

11:12 - “You have a lifestyle business if you are sucking all of the cash out of the company through salaries, perks, and distributions and you’re solving for annual income or for that K1, without understanding how that is impacting how you’re able to fund your growth plan on the way to getting the equity-valuation you want at any point in time.” - Ryan
18:20 - “What do you need (in income, through salary and distributions every year) to make it worth it?” - Ryan
20:10 - “If you go back to the Demystifying Business Valutation Miniseries, we talked about the intrinsic financial value versus the strategic transaction value. And the reason why I liked this [series] is because it is a framework to thinking about valuations.” - Ryan
20:37 - “The intrinsic financial value is the value of a business as it stands today, as you own it, based on the risk of the cash flow.” - Ryan
20:46 - “Truly, you don’t have to sell the business to tell what it’s worth.” - Ryan
21:03 - “The [strategic transaction value] is when a buyer and a seller come together and there is a purpose of a deal.” - Ryan
28:24 - “A multiple, in just the simplest terms, is the number of years of cash flow (normalized EBITA) a buyer is willing to pay for a company.” - Ryan
31:18 - “The goal is to derisk that cash flow.” - Ryan
