KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Many business owners use a magic hockey stick approach to valuation, indicating that upon their exit, the company will somehow produce record-beating results never seen before. The best way to demonstrate any success is to actually test the water.
• With 80% of all deals going to private equity, it's more important than ever that we understand how that universe works in order to maximise our own potential.
• Business owners focus their entire energies on building their company. That same level of dedication is needed when it comes time to exit.
• Private equity always hire investment bankers to sell their companies. These people are often employed in order to manage the competitive tension and the overall process. These bankers will often know things that the general public won't even realise.
