S04E04: Due Diligence Tips

by Leave a Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LISTDue diligence is a tricky beast.

It’s easy to pick up the basics but can take years to master.

We covered some of our thoughts on due diligence on this previous episode. If you haven’t listened to it, I’d highly suggest giving it a listen and coming back for this one.

In this episode, we wanted to cover some due diligence tips that were more relevant for larger businesses and portfolios that you may be looking to acquire.

While we look at it from a buyer’s perspective, it’s worth a listen if you’re selling as well to get some sense of what buyers might be looking for.

S03E10: Seller Final Steps

by 1 Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LISTWe’re SOOO close…now let’s wrap this deal up!

In this episode, we look at some of the final steps you’ll need to take to close the deal and then look at both post-sale support and some next steps you can take after an exit.

 

Many sellers start spending the cash before it’s even hit their bank account, but that’s a REALLY bad idea. The deal isn’t done until you’ve got the money in the bank, so you’ll want to be careful all the way through the process.

So…what’s next? We’ll look at some of the smart-money moves you can make that allow you to celebrate the sale, but also put that money back to work for you.

This is the LAST episode of Season 3 and wraps up our Seller Series. We hope you enjoyed it!

That’s it for now, but we’ll plan to have an entirely new season starting later this year. We’ll shoot you an email when it’s on again, so make sure to sign up for our email list!
