Terry Lammers is a proven lower–middle market operator and M&A strategist with a track record of building, scaling, and exiting businesses through disciplined acquisition-led growth. Over a 20-year career as a business owner, he completed 11 acquisitions, transforming his company into a highly attractive platform before successfully selling it to a multi-billion-dollar strategic buyer.

Following his exit, Terry expanded his financial and transactional expertise in commercial banking before founding Innovative Business Advisors, where he has advised entrepreneurs and investors on buying, selling, and valuing businesses. As a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), he has completed hundreds of business valuations and is known for aligning valuation with real-world deal execution—bridging the gap between theory and closeable transactions.

Most recently, Terry served as CFO and Chief Growth Officer of a growth-oriented company, where he helped scale revenue from $9 million to $80 million in five years through a combination of strategic acquisitions and organic expansion. His leadership focused on deal sourcing, capital strategy, integration, and building the operational infrastructure required to support rapid growth.
Terry is also the author of You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know; Everything You Need to Know to Buy or Sell a Business, a practical guide for business owners navigating complex transactions.
He is widely recognized for his ability to identify value, structure deals that close, and execute post-acquisition integration to drive measurable growth.

Currently, Terry partners with business owners, investors, and private equity groups who are pursuing growth through acquisition or preparing for a successful sale—bringing hands-on experience, disciplined execution, and a proven playbook to maximize enterprise value.

What is your business really worth in 2026? Truth #12 (the last Truth in our series) breaks it down: it’s not about what you think—it’s about what buyers can prove. In today’s M&A market, valuation is driven by clean financials, predictable revenue, and a business that runs without you.

And even then, the number on paper isn’t the whole story—deal structure, risk, and terms often matter more than the headline price.

If you’re planning an exit (even years out), preparation isn’t optional anymore—it’s the difference between a premium outcome and being passed over.

⚠️ Truth #10 About Selling a $5–$50M Business in 2026

Most owners believe buyers value a business based on earnings first.

In reality, experienced buyers look at risk before earnings.

They evaluate questions like:
• How dependent is the business on the owner?
• Are the financials consistent and defensible?
• Is revenue predictable and diversified?
• Are systems and processes documented?

If buyers see uncertainty in any of these areas, they often discount the valuation—no matter how strong the profits appear. Risk directly impacts what buyers are willing to pay and how they structure the deal.

📊 Truth #9 About Selling a $5–$50M Business in 2026

Your financials don’t just report results—they tell the story of your business.

Buyers want to clearly understand how your company makes money, where margins come from, and whether performance is sustainable. When the numbers are messy, inconsistent, or hard to interpret, buyers often assume risk—and lower their valuation accordingly.

Clean, well-organized financials that explain trends, growth drivers, and one-time events help buyers quickly see the real earning power of the business.
