Hey Carl, i’m 20 years old and currently starting a bachelors in economics in Portugal and thinking of doing a masters in finance after. i’m very interested in learning how to do deals because i think that’s what i want to do when i finish my masters.I have a question, how do you protect yourself from the debts that you raise through a lbo or other financing methods that involve borrowing money from a lender ? Although you should use a SPV, are you really fully protected from incurring the debts of the business if the business fails? And if possible could you make a video explaining what’s your strategy to protected yourself on the deals that you do, and also give examples of things that went wrong with some of your deals and how did you manage to get out of that situation

Hi Carl, Just started seeing your stuff and it is exactly what I was looking for. I have a question, some small business owners don't take out SDE before EBITDA, they calculate all businesses expenses including employees etc but then they pay themselves the profits. So in your example they would calculate EBITDA = £300k, but then they take that as their personal income, therefore if in your calculation the £200k owner etc money would actually come off the adjusted amount not added. So to put a GM in might cost £52k per year meaning in this example the Adjusted EBITDA would be excluding the "other take backs" and for example excluding rent etc, would we end up with £48k. Do you see many deals like this whereby the business owner takes the profits as his own salary?

Great content Carl . I like the way you break everything down making it even for a non finance person to grasp the concepts . I have been following you for a while now and current looking at a commercial cleaning business in the UK with an EBITDA of 125,000. I made an offer for 2XEBITDA. Which is accepted by the broker . Now he wants me to pay separately for the Motor vehicles (Vans ) used by the company on its business operations. Apart from Real estate do we have to pay for extra Tangible Assets ? ( in my case the Vans) because I thought the offer of the EBITDA multiple was for everything. Please clarify this . Thank you
