If the profits remain the same, but you double somehow the multiple, you will double the value of your business.

It's not impossible, but it's hard.” - Martin Holland“It is way faster to acquire a business, and the customers, and the employees, and the talent, and the systems, and the machine than it is to go and start from scratch and start that new location. And so being able to do that is a huge advantage.” - Khalil Benalioulhaj“Everyone has an exit in their company at some point, whether it's intentional or unintentional; you pass away, hand it off to your children, or you have to sell.
