Hello, searcher here. Looking to acquire my first company. (Electrical contracting). I’ve been working with the company for the last year and we have started talks about taking over. Looking for help deciding on fair deal. EBITDA x 2.3 is my target for a few reasons, current structure (older employees, family doing bookwork etc) however I have also been a major part of the labour team for the last year so I’m struggling to work out how to add that into negotiations. Please help. P.s I’m Australia based.

You’re in a great position to make a better deal than average as you are most likely trusted at this point. I would create a deal that is extremely low risk on your end.
