The EBITDA multiple is one of the most widely used benchmarks in business sales. However, not all companies are valued the same way, even when they operate in the same industry and generate similar EBITDA. Factors such as growth, profitability, recurring revenue, business risks, or dependence on the owner can significantly influence the multiple a buyer is willing to pay.

In this webinar, we'll analyze how valuation multiples are determined, which benchmarks the market uses, and why a company's theoretical value doesn't always match its sale price. Using practical examples, we'll compare companies with the same EBITDA to understand what justifies their differences in valuation and how these factors shape M&A negotiations.
