Overcoming Valuation Concerns: Maximizing Your C-Store Chain's Worth
Join Steve for this high-value, insight-packed session that will take you from uncertainty about your business’s worth to clarity, confidence, and a clear plan of action. Drawing on decades of personal operating experience and dozens of closed M&A transactions in the downstream energy sector, Steve delivers the real-world valuation framework that c-store chain owners rarely get from any other source.
IN THIS SESSION, YOU WILL:
- Understand exactly how your business is valued — and what EBITDA multiples apply to chains like yours in today’s market
- Identify the six valuation drivers that determine where on the price spectrum your business lands — and how to move the needle
- Recognize the “silent discount factors” that quietly erode your value before a buyer ever makes an offer
- Discover the specific value builders that command premium prices from buyers right now, including food programs, management depth, and real estate ownership
- Apply a five-question self-assessment to honestly evaluate your business’s market readiness today
- Build a preparation timeline that positions you to sell on your terms — whether that’s two years from now or five
BONUS: Attendees will receive DEG’s exclusive “Seller Readiness Self-Assessment” — a practical tool for evaluating your business against the six valuation drivers covered in this session, with a personalized roadmap for closing the gaps.
