$10 million in cash

- $2 million goes to Meech & Tee for that work

- $2 million goes to some cheap farmland in the middle of nowhere USA (hopefully hundreds of acres)

- throw $2 million in 5 startups

- $2 million into my own Super PAC

- dice up $2 million and sprinkle as much of it to some community organizations

Stop playing hoe and run me my 10 mill

Really depends on the type of business. Something with recurring sales? Is it an established business with a track record?

Standard Lower Middle Market economics:

• $10mm Revenue
  • Typical EBITDA Margins = ~30%
  • Which results in a yearly EBITDA of $3mm
• LMM businesses typically trade for 5.0x multiples
• $3mm x 5.0x = $15mm valuation

10 million. Retire and travel. Live off interest.

You didn't mention the PROFIT the business takes in

Very good point I forgot to consider.

 

[KidJSoul]

Oh yeah not to mention, how much of the 10m business is going to your salary? Will the valuation be good enough to sell it for a large amount?

I’ll take the business. Since OP didn’t specify what type of business, I will pick something with low overhead costs and since it’s generating $10 million in revenue then I would already have an established market share. The business would be in the tech space. A new technology to which I OWN the patent. I would seek out investors and take the company public.


And in 10 years, while most of you trying to hold on to that $10 million being frugal, I’ll be a billionaire hosting fundraisers, being an Ethnic Vagina Finding philanthropist.

Either way I'm never working again so it dont matter
