I heard an “expert” once on a radio show advising small business owners how to prep their business for sale. The advice was to cut costs to inflate EBITDA because that’s what the sale price would be based on. So if the seller followed that advice, network upgrades and maintenance would have been neglected. On the other hand, if you planned to cut redundant staff, some of that might have already been done.
