In this short promotional video, Bill Canady invites viewers to run a free, nine‑minute leveraged‑buyout (LBO) style financial model at billcanady.com/LBOmodel. By entering five inputs, users receive a seven‑page report that includes a required exit EBITDA calculated under GAAP. Canady warns that many users dislike the results, emphasizing that discovering any issues now is better than having a board discover them later. He stresses a philosophy of progress over perfection and encourages viewers to run the numbers immediately. The video also teases the next episode, which will address how business plans that were sound two years ago can silently drift, a common problem he hears about most often.

You want to start it, start it where it starts. Run your own numbers at billcanady.com/LBOmodel or use the link below. 5 inputs off your sim, about 9 minutes, free, and you'll get a 7-page report with your required exit EBITDA at the GAAP today. Fair warning, a lot of people don't like what comes back. That's the whole point. Better you find out today than your board finds out in March. Okay, we like progress over perfection here. Now go run the numbers. Don't forget to watch the next episode in this series. Most people assume everything I just described is for the person who took the seat last week. The bigger problem, and the one I get called about most, is the plan that was fine 2 years ago and has drifted quietly. That's next.
