*Note: Earned Exits’ process will add great value to your valuation, including with one key step called “Add-Backs”. It is most common for business owners to include personal expenses on their Income Statement. Vehicles, board meetings, and family on the payroll are fair and legal ways for tax deductions and/or are personal benefits for you that are truly additions to your company profitability. Our Add-back process uses your net profit and adds back those personal expenses running through the business to increase your profitability. This is called Sellers Discretionary Earnings (SDE).
