What is EBITDA?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EBITDA matters <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking of using equity funding for business you\u2019ll need to get to grips with EBITDA.

It\u2019s the main figure that equity investors want to know about when they\u2019re considering financing a business. It gives them an idea of your company\u2019s financial stability, profitability and operating performance. And they\u2019re happy to ignore other costs (interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) that can obscure how your business is actually doing. It allows for more accurate comparisons between similar firms – especially if one firm is in the midst of extensive capital projects while another is not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should my EBITDA figure look like to attract investment? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It depends on what kind of industry you\u2019re in. Investors know this, and they\u2019ll regularly compare a company\u2019s EBITDA figure to the industry average or to another, similar business, before deciding whether to invest. So it\u2019s important to try to optimise your EBITDA figure if you can before you go all-guns-blazing in search of funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasing your EBITDA figure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cIf only I had a magic wand!\u201d we hear you say. There\u2019s no need, as there are a few simple steps you can take to improve your profitability and start accessing equity funding for business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by making sure you maintain your prices because discounts just reduce your EBITDA. And then think about where else you can do to reduce your costs. Could you cut down on travel or entertainment? Manage your inventories better? Start selling to new markets? Omit lines that are losing money? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
