We buy a business at 8x $50m of EBITDA with 50% debt. In five years EBITDA is $75m, we exit at the same multiple, and cash flow has repaid $100m of debt. What is the IRR, and where did the return come from?

You

Entry equity is $200m. Exit equity is $600m less $100m of debt: $500m. That is 2.5x in five years, about 20%.

Follow-up

Good. Now split the $300m gain.

You

EBITDA growth adds $200m at 8x and debt paydown $100m. No multiple expansion, so two-thirds is operational.

Next: the same deal exiting at 7x.

The product

Everything between your application and your offer

Mock interviews that push backComing soon

An interviewer who asks, listens and follows up, in the role you'll actually face: a recruiter, a demanding MD, or a trader who wants a number in five seconds. Every answer is scored, with a model answer after each question.

Every side of finance, together

Technicals and fit for banking. Market-making, probability and mental maths for trading firms. Deal cases and LBOs for private equity, stock pitches for hedge funds. One place for every application you send.

A playbook for every firm

Each firm's real process, stage by stage, and what every stage tests. Every fact is marked official or reported, with its source and the date it was last checked.

Timed mock tests

Practice for the online tests firms use: numerical reasoning, number sequences and mental-maths speed. Original questions in the same style and timing.

The Morning BriefComing soon

The three market stories to know today, how to discuss them in an interview, and a short quiz. Delivered each morning in your time zone.

A plan built around you

Flashcards that return just before you'd forget them, and the next deadlines for your firms on your dashboard. Readiness scores and a daily plan are on the way.

The superday simulator

Elite · Coming soon
