How a Family-Owned Hardware Chain Sold at 10 Times EBITDA

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dissect the sale of a regional family-owned hardware chain that fetched a 10 times EBITDA multiple, despite intense competition from big-box retailers. They break down what made the chain attractive: loyal customer base, real estate portfolio, and a strong brand. They also explore the seller's decision to sell to a private equity firm rather than a strategic buyer, and what that meant for the multiple. With practical lessons for any business owner eyeing an exit, this episode reveals what buyers truly pay for beyond the financials. #HardwareChain #FamilyBusiness #EBITDAMultiple #PrivateEquity #BusinessSale #ExitPlanning #BusinessBroker #SellYourBusiness #MergersAndAcquisitions #MainStreetBusiness #Retail #BusinessValuation #DealStructure #LoyalCustomers #RealEstate #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MAndA Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
