There's a romantic mistake I often see in Turkish business world: Bosses fall in love with their companies. They grow it, call it "breadwinner", call it "heirloom". This is a very respectable attitude. However, there's no room for sentimentality in the global finance world.
A company, just like the goods it produces, is a "Product" that should be sold at the highest price or receive investment when its time comes.
If your company can't run without you, systems are tied to people, and your brand's value isn't visible on the balance sheet; I'm sorry but you're not a company owner, you're just "a very hard-working general manager".
Today, wearing my MBA hat, I want to talk to you about "Exit Strategy" and "Real Value".
1. The "My Company Is Priceless" Illusion
When we sit at the Merger and Acquisition (M&A) table; the boss says "I gave 30 years to this business, its value is 100 Units". The investor opens Excel, looks at EBITDA multiplier and says "Its value is 30 Units".
The 70-unit difference between them is "Unproven Potential". As Dizdar Audit, our job is to close that gap. With our Statisticians' growth projections and Industrial Engineers' efficiency reports; we sell the investor not just the company's "today" but its "future". Because in the finance world, numbers without a story are sold at a discount.
2. Preparing the Wedding Dress: Vendor Due Diligence
If you want to bring a partner to your company or sell it one day, the first people to knock on your door will be "Auditors" (Big 4). When they come and find the shortage in your warehouse, your tax risk or your legal case; millions of dollars are erased from your company value.
We don't allow this. Our approach is the logic of "Vendor Due Diligence" (Seller-Side Audit). We come before the investor comes. We clean the house, eliminate risks, bring the balance sheet to its strongest form (honestly) without makeup. When the investor sits at the table, you become the rule-maker, not the defensive side.
3. Technology Multiplier: Factory or Technology Company?
If a traditional manufacturing company's market multiplier is 5x, a technology-focused company's multiplier can be 15x.
This is why we take ERP, Artificial Intelligence and Automation investments very seriously. That "Silicon Collar Workforce" we set up in your company doesn't just reduce costs; it takes your company out of the "Industrial Company" class and puts it in the "Smart Company Using Technology" class. This means doubling or tripling your company value on paper.
Final Word: Don't Leave Money on the Table
You worked for years, took risks, turned your hair white. Your company is your biggest asset.
When you decide to sell it or sit at the table with a fund; you can't leave the reward of your labor to "the buyer's mercy".
As Dizdar Audit:
- We clean your past with accounting firm precision.
- We polish your operations with engineering intelligence.
- We stick a "price tag" on your brand with MBA vision.
Stop looking at your company as just a "workplace". Start treating it today as the billion-dollar brand of the future.
Because vision is the art of seeing the invisible. And we're here to record that vision on the balance sheet.
