The $1 Million Mistake: How Poor Preparation Can Slash Your Business Valuation

Most business owners don’t realise how much value they leave on the table when they go to sell, until it’s too late.

A lack of preparation can easily turn a 3× valuation multiple into a 2× deal. On a business generating $1 million in EBITDA, that’s a $1 million hit to your sale price, all because the business wasn’t ready when buyers came knocking.

In this short video, I unpack what that really means for business owners, why it happens so often, and what you can do to protect (and grow) your valuation before you sell.

If you’re thinking about selling in the next few years — or just want to build a business that’s ready for any opportunity, join us at the Exit Planning & Wealth Strategy Evening on 27 October 2025, 6:30–9:30 pm.

It’s a practical session covering how to prepare your business, structure your exit, and plan personally for what comes next.
