So I work for this firm X that has some 1.8 turnover, the owners do not reinvest and basically take out all the money via expenses so the PnL looks bad ,etc. Balance sheet has shitty assets around 3.0 They want to buy some company Y that costs 3.5 and finance 65% senior and 35% subordinated. Is there even a point in modelling here and wasting time? They just had 0.6 EBITDA so the margin is 33%
