What you will walk away with

For owners 55 and older running a $1M to $20M business, thinking about an exit in the next 1 to 5 years, who want the real number and the real stories before they talk to anyone. Not ready yet is fine. That is the best time to be here.

✓What your business is really worth, and who decides it.Your friend says he got five times profit. Maybe. Most businesses sell for 2x to 6x cash flow, and the bank, not the buyer, sets your value.
✓$400,000 of profit becomes a $1,600,000 price, then the bank speaks.Real buyer math on a real deal: four times cash flow, a $230,000 a year loan payment, and what the buyer actually keeps. Now you know why buyers act the way they do near closing.
✓Why saving on taxes can cost you at closing.Two businesses, both earning $550,000. One shows it. The other shows $30,000 on the tax return, so the bank lends on $220,000. About $1,000,000 left on the table.
✓How to prove the business runs without you.The vacation test. Two and a half weeks in Italy and nothing moved? That is a story we tell the buyer. Cannot afford a vacation? Here is the fix.
✓The five things quietly discounting your price right now.One customer at 40% of revenue. Clients paying in 90 days while you pay vendors in 7. The wrong company structure within five years of selling. All findable, all fixable in 12 to 24 months.
✓Why the terms matter more than the price.$10 million today, or $20 million at a dollar a day? Pay tied to future results, carrying half the price yourself, and one page worth about $200,000.
✓Who can kill your deal at step 79.You only need one buyer, and there are 10,000+ vetted buyers. But there are 80 steps, and your landlord, your CPA or your spouse can end it at step 79.

Stories you will hear

✓Dwayne Evans on the tax check and the closing wire.The owner who wrote $100,000 more in taxes and collected about $1,000,000 more at closing.
✓The Bible.How a one man cleaning company documented its way to a sale, and what the buyers said when they saw it.
✓The $900,000 that became $2.2 million.The owner whose first number was not enough to retire on, who was told not to sell yet, and what one more year did.
✓The $800,000 that never arrived.An earn out tied to net income instead of revenue, and the $100,000 line item that erased it.
✓Dwayne Evans on the ransomware sale.The agribusiness deal where the buyer's systems went dark in the middle of the inspection, and it still closed higher.

Questions owners ask us

I am not ready to sell yet. Should I still come?Yes. This webinar is built for owners 1 to 5 years out. The owners who do best are the ones who learned this a few years before they needed it. The earlier you know your number and what moves it, the more you keep when the day comes.
Will my employees or customers find out I am looking?No. Your registration is private, and we do not share who attends. Nobody in your business will know.
Am I going to be sold to?No. This is teaching, not a pitch. What you do afterward is entirely up to you.
What if I cannot make it at noon on the 22nd?Register anyway. Every registrant gets the replay. Watch it when the office is quiet.
My business depends on me. Is it even worth anything?That is one of the most common worries we hear, and it does not mean your business is worth nothing. Buyers pay less when everything runs through the owner, and we cover what changes that on the call.
Who is teaching this, and why should I trust them?Dwayne Evans and Dirk Armbrust, Managing Directors at The Vant Group in Dallas. The firm has helped owners sell their businesses since 1999, with 700+ clients served, a BBB Torch Award for Ethics, and a 5.0 rating on Google from 98 reviews. It works with a list of 10,000+ vetted buyers, so the numbers you hear are what buyers are actually paying, not theory.
