The EV/EBITDA multiple is a financial ratio that compares a company's Enterprise Value (EV) to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA).

The transaction structure includes both equity and senior debt. The strategy aims to capitalize on the favorable regulatory framework for apprenticeships (Law for the Freedom to Choose One's Professional Future) to reach EUR25 million in revenue within four years.
