20/20 Money Episode #220 – Understanding the relationship between multiples and risk when buying or selling a practice

January 23, 2023

Understanding the relationship between business risk and the multiples that are paid on practices is important for anyone that’s buying or selling a practice to understand. In this episode, I’ll discuss how multiples are calculated, the different ways we can think about risk when it comes to investing, and why it’s important to make sure that you’re being honest with yourself about the financial metrics of your practice.
