Built to be worth more
An EBITDA conversation for growing businesses
A conversation on EBITDA
Built to be worth more.
“What is your business worth?” isn’t a hard question to answer. The harder question is: “what drives that number, and are you actually building towards it?”
EBITDA gets talked about in boardrooms and sale processes. But for many growing businesses, it stays abstract until it matters most.
Join specialists from corporate finance, legal, business consultancy, and technology for a frank, practical conversation about what EBITDA really means for growing businesses, what moves the dial, and what often undermines it.
Connect with business owners and advisers working through the questions that will grow your business.
📅 Date: Thursday, 7th May 2026
⏰ Time: 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Venue: Simons Muirhead Burton, 87‑91 Newman Street, London W1T 3EY

Worth your evening
- Understand EBITDA Beyond the accountant’s definition. What operational, commercial, and structural decisions have the biggest effect on your number, and why acquirers care about different things than you might expect.
- Hear from people who do this every day Our panel brings together specialists in corporate finance, law, business consultancy, and technology. Not generalist advice. People who work with growing businesses the very challenges you face.
- Have conversations that don’t usually happen until it’s too late The questions around valuation, operational readiness, and technology infrastructure are ones most businesses only tackle when they’re in a process. We’re providing a space to have them before it’s too late.
