Listen "05. Why Every Business Owner Needs a Valuation Even If You're Not Selling with Bill Clement"
Episode Synopsis
Is your business worth what you think it is—or what someone tells you it is?
Whether you're considering a future sale, bringing in a partner, or simply building long-term wealth, understanding the true value of your business is a must—not a maybe.
In this episode of Making Sense, John Napolitano welcomes Bill Clement, Managing Partner at South Coast Financial Partners, for a candid, in-depth conversation on business valuations.
Together, they unpack why every high-net-worth business owner needs to think beyond the day-to-day and start viewing valuation as a strategic tool—not just a number on paper.
You’ll learn:
Why knowing your business’s value matters well before you’re ready to sell—or even think about it
How equity compensation plans work, and why they’re a powerful lever for attracting talent when cash is tight
The difference between strategic and financial buyers—and how that difference can significantly impact your sale price
How to align your valuation with your long-term goals and avoid common mistakes that could cost you down the line
Whether you're planning ahead or just getting curious, this episode will help you see your business through a new lens—and make smarter decisions because of it.
