The Deal Looked Great, Until the Numbers Spoke.
A buyer was excited about a business showing strong revenue growth and a recognizable brand.
But once the financials were reviewed closely, the cash flow couldn’t comfortably support the debt payments.
Lessons from the deal:
  • Revenue alone doesn’t determine value
  • Debt service coverage matters more than excitement
  • Verify owner add-backs carefully
  • Strong sales can still hide weak profitability
  • Patience protects buyers from expensive mistakes
