Valuation for Owners Preparing to Sell
Sellers weight the FCFE equity-value method most heavily because the core question is: what do I actually walk away with after debt repayment and taxes? The spread between a 3× and a 5× EBITDA offer can translate to millions in after-tax proceeds — and the difference usually comes down to a handful of structural factors the owner controls before going to market. Understanding all three methods — FCFF intrinsic value, FCFE equity value, and EV/EBITDA market comps — before entering a buyer conversation gives sellers a defensible floor they can walk through with any buyer, broker, or M&A advisor.
