Value Creation
How enterprise value is built.
10X Your Business is the Opsist value-creation mandate: sustainable EBITDA, operating quality and the strategic options that follow from both.
Enterprise value equals sustainable EBITDA multiplied by a market multiple. Each stage of the plan moves one or both variables through operating technology, EBITDA expansion, growth capital, portfolio formation and transaction readiness.
One illustrative path runs from $1M of revenue and $150K of EBITDA to $5M of revenue and $1M of EBITDA, taking enterprise value from $600K to $6M, a 10.0x illustrative move in enterprise value. It exists to make the interaction of revenue, EBITDA quality, scale and market multiple explicit.
