Build It Like It's Worth Backing
About
📅 Friday, 5th June
🕞 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM
📍 Location Narrm Ngurru Library, Meeting room 1
When an investor decides to back a business, it means one thing: they see something highly scalable, run by someone who knows what they're doing, with serious long-term potential.
That standard? It's not just for people raising capital.
It's the standard every business owner should be building to, because when you build with that level of rigour and ambition, you end up with something genuinely valuable. Whether or not you ever take a dollar of outside money.
This workshop is for business owners who want to build something that lasts, scales, and is worth something, on their own terms.
WHAT WE'LL COVER
🧠 How Investors Actually Evaluate a Business
Not to prepare you to pitch, but to show you the lens the sharpest minds in capital use to assess whether a business is built to last. Spoiler: most business owners are closer than they think.
💼 The Value You're Already Sitting On
Founders and business owners consistently undervalue what they've built and contributed. This workshop will show you how to see it clearly and how to use it (with a calculator!).
📈 Revenue vs. Enterprise Value
Turnover is not the same as value. We'll break down what actually makes a business worth something and the moves that compound that value over time.
💰 Financial Discipline That Scales
Burn rate, cash flow, capital allocation, strategic investment decisions. The financial habits that separate businesses that grow from ones that plateau.
🚪 Building With the End in Mind
Whether your exit is 2 years or 20 years away, or you never want one, knowing how to think about succession, acquisition, and long-term wealth changes how you build today.
YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
A structured 30-day action plan to assess your business value, tighten your financials, identify your growth levers, and build a roadmap for the next 24 months. Practical. Immediately applicable.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You run a business and want to build something genuinely scalable and valuable.
You've never thought about raising investment but you want to build like you could.
You want clearer financial thinking and a stronger long-term strategy.
You're ready to stop operating day-to-day and start thinking like an owner.
