Turn Your Business into
a Blue Chip | The 8 Key Drivers of Company Value
Option A: 60 minutes
Option B: XX minutes
Summary
This powerful keynote speech will emphasize the 8 key drivers of company value that business owners must optimize to enhance their company's attractiveness to potential acquirers and maximize valuation. These drivers include financial performance, growth potential, the Switzerland Structure (minimizing reliance on a single customer or employee), the valuation seesaw (balancing cash flow with value), recurring revenue, monopoly control, customer satisfaction, and avoiding the Hub & Spoke trap, which centralizes decision-making in the owner.
​
By systematically improving each of these factors, businesses can increase profitability, reduce risk, and command higher acquisition offers. Case studies like RXBAR, Tesla, and Sweetgreen provide practical examples of how these drivers can significantly impact a company’s market value.
In this game-changing keynote, your audience will learn actionable strategies for entrepreneurs looking to build a business that are not just profitable but also scalable and sellable.
