I'm interested in learning about acquiring companies, adding value and selling them and I would like to get a better understanding of what business buyers are looking for and what they will pay. Not the theoretical stuff in a text book but what actual people are buying right now. I have done research and I hear of different multipliers based on EBITDA - with the more systematized the business and the future prospects looking stable the higher the multiplier.
"Flipping" companies is a very rare activity, Private Equity firms are among the very few specialists of that trade.
Some stints in i-banking, PE, or Corp Dev would help, but so some P&L experience, especially in turnaround scenario.
Short of having massive personal wealth, a leveraged buy out would be the only option and that raise the bar even more in terms of the type of performance needed to make it worthwhile.
