Big time show for Coffee Nation! The four Throne of Awesome finalists squared off in a Dinner Party battle. They each drafted four guests to bring and then Timmy eliminated the contestant with the worst guests. They then drafted food and drink to bring to the party and Timmy eliminated another contestant. Finally, the two remaining gave a toast for why they deserved to be Cycle 2 ToA Champ. Jason Hollister, Steve Harris, Tecmo Bowl Man and Michael Watkins were the competitors and all of them did a great job. Very fun show!

A question that I get asked all the time from my Mastermind members is how do you value a business. It's a good question that's very difficult to answer. Why? Because a big business is worth more than a small business. So, let's take a step back. The starting point for a business value is a multiple of profit or EBITDA. A small business with an EBITDA of £100K or less can have a value of 2x to 4x EBITDA. A bigger business with £1 million EBITDA will have an 8x to 15x value. The days of getting a 20x multiple disappeared in the 80s with Gordon Gekko. So, when a potential buyer gave Coffee Nation a 37.5 multiple. Martin Dawes couldn't believe his luck. But... The deal fell through inches from the finishing line! Why? That's what you will find out in this podcast episode.  You'll also hear: What a business seller is looking for in a buyer What a buyer should do to prepare for sale What you need to demonstrate to the business owner that will make him want to sell to you How to calculate the value of a business Questions to ask the seller that reveal the health of the business   Follow or connect with Jonathan on LinkedIn > https://bit.ly/2S3Xzxw Watch our YouTube Channel The Dealmaker's Academy > https://bit.ly/3b86OFI Visit us online at www.thedealmakersacademy.com Episodes of Business Buying Strategies are available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher and Breaker.
