What drives the result

Contribution covers fixed costs first, then becomes profit. Cash - not accounting profit - pays bills, so OCF and FCF sit beside every margin. Multiples and DCF translate those cash streams into what a buyer should pay.

Recommendations

  • • grandfather existing contracts where needed.
  • •Watch churn for 30 days after the move.
