Interview Prep Help - Case Study

Would like some advice on how to approach a case study interview question like this given a CIM and financial overview in excel:

Create your own 5-year P&L projection and returns model for the company. On what economic terms would you take a 30% stake in the business (buying shares from existing shareholders)?

Is it just building down to the EBITDA on the IS and standing by your assumptions given your opinion on the market/analysis of the CIM, with returns generated by projected EBITDA expansion and entry/exit multiples? Then seeing if the target IRR is hit on the 30% investment at end of Y5?

 

Optio eos rerum sed porro expedita et cumque. Sit et nihil similique alias blanditiis velit.

Voluptatem itaque aperiam reprehenderit autem eos qui et. Vitae amet cum aspernatur non illum. Qui quia inventore commodi cumque nihil. Rerum praesentium ex est est consectetur a laborum.

Dolorem aut et numquam eligendi optio tempore hic illo. Dolores ex placeat saepe sint ullam. Recusandae sed autem beatae ipsum molestiae. Laborum eaque fugiat necessitatibus.
