Travis Business Advisors Podcast | TBA Podcast
I’m Slava Davidenko, founder of Travis Business Advisors, ABBA, IBBA and TABB member, Accredited Business Intermediary, Chicago GSB MBA.
I have 35 years of leadership experience in investing, operations and high-stakes deals. I’m building an Austin advisory for small and medium sized businesses.
On this channel, I share insights for Austin business owners planning an exit and buyers, planning to buy business located in Austin - whether five years away from the deal or just three months.
If you own a car wash, dental or veterinary practice, private school or education center, self-storage, or senior care - selling isn’t simple. Valuation, structure, taxes, transition, real estate, growth story - every decision affects your outcome.
Most brokers oversimplify. I don’t.

How Buyers Really Value Your Business (Not Your CPA)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your CPA might know your numbers — but buyers see a completely different story.
When it comes to selling your business, relying on tax-based valuation can cost you millions.
In this podcast, Mr. V breaks down:
- Why CPA valuations are often wrong
- The critical mistake of using tax returns
- What buyers actually look at (SDE explained simply)
- How valuation multiples really work
- Why specialization matters in M&A
If you're planning an exit, this could be the most important financial insight you hear.
Because your business isn’t worth what your CPA says —
it’s worth what a buyer is willing to pay.
