S03E03: Preparing To Sell Your Online Business (Part 1)

by Leave a Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LISTWhat are the exact steps you need to take if you want to sell your online business?

That’s the question we’re tackling in this 2-part episode.

We’ve shared tips/tricks in previous episodes and on the Empire Flippers Podcast, but we wanted to see if we could break the process down specifically for a potential seller.

We’ll be walking you through exactly what you need to setup and prepare if you have a mind to sell:

Phase I – Getting Your Business Started. Why do you need to think about an exit from day 1? What can you do to better set yourself up for a successful exit?

Phase II – Growing/Scaling Your Business. What steps can you take during the growth process that will improve value?

Phase III – 12 Months Out. What can you do when you’re 12 months out from a potential sale to maximize the value of your business?

In these two episodes, we’ll walk you through, step-by-step, from creating your business up to getting the online business ready to list.

If you’re at all interested in hearing about how to sell your online business, these two episodes will help you get there.

by 2 Comments

Subscribe to our VIP LISTInvestors often discuss the similarities between buying online businesses and offline real estate, but is that comparison really fair?

It’s easy to compare direct ROI, but you’re not getting the best info if you’re not looking at the whole picture. We do some in-depth comparisons in this episode – hope you enjoy!
