Demystifying Business Valuation: Strategies to Increase Your Company's Worth with Guest Kyle McCulloch
Welcome to another episode of The Ownership Advantage! Today, host Tanner sits down with Kyle McCulloch, VP of North America at Bizval, to demystify the world of business valuations for small and mid-sized business owners. Drawing on Kyle’s diverse background—from trading commodity derivatives in South Africa to navigating Wall Street and even modernizing small businesses on the West Coast—they dig into what truly drives a company’s value, the biggest blind spots owners tend to overlook, and why most founders simply get “the number” wrong when it comes to what their company is really worth.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your business is built to sell, want to understand the real risks investors look for, or are curious about how the latest tools (including AI!) can accelerate your journey, this episode is packed with practical insights you can’t afford to miss. Tune in to learn how to prepare your business for a future exit—whether that’s sooner or later—and why checking in on your company’s health should be as routine as tracking your personal finances.
