Shownotes

🎙️ Season 3 kicks off with Damien Fahey and Sam Cherry breaking down what manufacturing and engineering businesses are really worth, and what holds them back at sale.

Quick insights:

🔹 The most valuable thing in your business might be trapped in your own head. Damien and Sam explain why that costs you months, and sometimes the deal.

🔹 Buyers walk in and look straight at your oldest machine. What they do with that number will surprise most owners.

🔹 Ask ChatGPT what your business is worth and it will flatter you. Sam explains why the real Christchurch number looks nothing like it.

🎧 With over 100 manufacturing and engineering businesses sold and an average value around $1.25 million, this episode gives owners a clear read on what buyers actually pay for, and what quietly costs you at the negotiating table.
