I disagree. Revenue minus expenses is profit. Finding a WISP who expenses correctly can be difficult. Even I pull my hair out on all the expenses and various ways you can expense items.
Profit times X is the selling price. I was just speaking with my wife about this and complaining about how high our profit margins are. The more profits the more taxes paid. So ideally you want to expense out as much as possible, take dividends, pay yourself more etc. so profits aren't high. The problem is a buyer wants to see your profits so it's a nightmare of a fine line. Taxes vs. Selling.

I've heard 1.5 times annual revenue thrown around for a valuation purpose. There is a lot more to this figure but it's a place to start. So, if your company billed 1.5 million, you'd say your valuation was around $2.25 million. If you had 90 towers on your network - and you owned 60 of them (the steel, not the land they're on) , would you consider your network worth more than if you rented all 90? My take on this is yes, they could all be taken down and converted to cash, so the fact we own towers vs. rent them makes our network more valuable. What say you? Thanks.
