What Baton Rouge Owners Should Know
Recurring revenue commands a premium
In any market, businesses with recurring revenue — maintenance contracts, service agreements, monitoring — trade at significantly higher multiples than project-based businesses at the same earnings level.
Owner dependency is the #1 discount
If your business can’t run without you, buyers will price that risk into their offer. Reducing owner dependency is the single highest-impact move most sellers can make before going to market.
Preparation takes 12 months
The sellers who get the best outcomes prepare 12–24 months before going to market. Read the full 12-Month Exit Timeline for the step-by-step process.
