Capital and Exits

  1. The questions you will be asked, in the order they will be asked

    The order is the method. The cheap questions come first because they are the ones you cannot rehearse.

  2. They Are Not Buying the Venue. They Are Pricing Your Absence.

    A buyer is not paying for last year's covers. They are pricing whether your hospitality business survives without you. What actually sets the number.

  3. What the person across the table is actually looking at

    They're not buying your revenue. They're pricing the risk that it walks out of the door with you.

  4. Why your business is worth less than you think, and exactly where the discount sits

    The gap between your number and their number has four parts, and each one is priced separately.

  5. Return OF Capital. The Question Every Hospitality Investor Asks First.

    Not what the return will be. Whether the money comes back at all. A structural reset is separating the operators built on financial foundations from those built on optimism and atmosphere.
