The Tricky Business of Selling Small Businesses

  • サマリー

  • This week, in episode 231, special guest David Barnett, who started helping owners buy and sell businesses in 2008, offers some guidance on an often-misunderstood sales process. Early on, David was a business broker. “I sold over three dozen companies for other people,” he tells us, “and it was very interesting and exciting. It was also a terrible business.” So he changed business models but has continued to do pretty much the same work. As a result, he’s amassed a lot of first-hand knowledge, much of which he shares in our conversation, including: why many owners fail to think of their business as an asset, why sellers shouldn’t be too quick to reject earnouts, why buyers should consider making multiple offers for the same business, how buyers can protect against the post-purchase loss of important customers, why businesses are selling for less than they were a couple of years ago, why there may be a smarter way to buy a business than by scouring business-for-sale websites, and why there really isn’t a true market for buying and selling small businesses.
