There’s a good chance your business is worth significantly more than you think.

In this podcast, Mr. V breaks down one of the most overlooked drivers of business valuation: add-backs. These hidden adjustments inside your financials can dramatically increase your seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE)—and ultimately, your exit price.

Through real-world examples and a detailed case study, you’ll learn:

• What add-backs actually are
• How buyers evaluate your business
• Why missing just $1 can cost you $2.50–$3.50 at sale
• Where hidden value is sitting inside your P&L
• How to properly document and defend add-backs

This isn’t about manipulating numbers—it’s about presenting the true earning power of your business.

If you’re planning to sell in the next 1–3 years, this is essential knowledge.
