Leverage The Power of Multiple Arbitrage For Your AGENCY
Buy agencies for 4-5X EBITDA and sell for 7-9X
The larger of two identical agencies usually sells at a higher multiple simply because it is larger. If agencies with $1M in EBITDA sell at 5x earnings and companies with $2M EBITDA sell at 7x earnings, a company with $2M in EBITDA can acquire a $1M EBITDA company for $5M and automatically be able to sell that company, as part of its whole, for $21M. Since the acquirer did nothing to change the agency, this is multiple arbitrage.
Some private equity companies build strategies around rolling up industries solely for the purpose of increasing aggregate EBITDA and then being able to sell the whole company for a greater value than the sum of its parts. This is exactly the value you can create from acquisitions.

Andy Day
Director of Capital A Group
Hi, my name is Andy Day, I'm the founder and CEO of Capital A Group.
Capital A is an M&A advisory we work on acquisitions for our clients who are the founders and CEOs of marketing and communications agencies.
Before I got into M&A I worked in digital media and marketing for over 25 years. I was the Founder of Gigwise.com and CEO of Giant Digital for 14 years, an online publishing and marketing company with over 20 million monthly unique visitors. I bought out my partner, raised investment and exited in 2016.
I bring my personal experience with M&A to the table to help other creative founders through the M&A process. I am inspired to help other founders grow their businesses through acquisitions and enjoy working with CEOs some of who have built $100,000,000 revenue agencies.
I have worked with some of the largest digital and media companies in the world including MSN, Universal Music, Yahoo!, Hearst, Bertelsmann, Northern & Shell and AOL.
