Hi – Welcome to the Web Equity Show.
We’re glad you’re here and hope you’ve been enjoying our podcast. We wanted to give you a bit more information about the show, ourselves, and how you can get involved in this emerging niche around buying and selling web properties and assets.
Why build a startup when you can buy one?
You’ll find a ton of shows out there talking about building a startup from scratch, but is that really the best approach?
Building from scratch requires ridiculously long hours, meager pay (if any at all), with a prayer that you’ll walk making your company profitable at all.
What most entrepreneurs don’t know is that you can buy an online business that is already profitable. These businesses have customers, marketing traction, and are ready for a new owner to take charge and grow them to the next level.
The best part? Many of these businesses don’t require a ton of up-front cash to purchase.
Listening to the Web Equity Show, you’ll learn how to:
- Determine which businesses are cash cows (and which are money/time sinks)
- Use creative financing to leverage up the value chain
- Grown and expand your purchased assets
- Sytemetize your business (People, Process, Product)
- Prepare your online business for a potential acquisition
We’re not just guys talking about this stuff – we’re actually doing it.
Both of us are in the trenches on a daily basis – hustling up deals, introducing buyers/sellers, and making it happen. We’re passionate about this industry, which is why we’ve taken the time to create this show and share with you our strategies and tactics in doing this full time for the last few years.
