S02E05: Initial Website Evaluation

April 12, 2016 by Justin Cooke Leave a Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LISTContinuing along with our Season 2 buyer series, we’re following up on last week’s episode regarding where to find websites to purchase with the next step in the process – a way to quickly determine whether a site is right for you or not.

Instead of putting a ton of hours into due diligence up-front, it’s better to create a framework that allows you to quickly and easily determine whether a business is a “go” or “no-go” right from the beginning.

We dig into our process for the initial website evaluation in this episode with the hope that you’ll walk away with some tips that will help you build out your own framework.

Ep #15: Legal Considerations When Buying & Selling Online Businesses

November 17, 2015 by Justin Cooke 1 Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LISTAce and I have talked quite a bit about both the buy and sell side of a deal, but wanted to take an episode to discuss the legal ramifications of buying and selling websites and online businesses.

In today’s episode, Ace sits down with David Rubenstein from Creditshout.com to discuss some of the legal concerns on both sides of the deal.

“What due diligence issues or gotchas should I watch out for?”

“What can I do to negotiate a better deal?”

“Do contracts really protect buyers and sellers?”

If you’ve been wondering how to protect yourself legally and want to hear an attorney’s thoughts, this is the episode for you.

Ep 14 : A CPA’s Take On Buying And Selling Online Businesses

November 10, 2015 by Justin Cooke Leave a Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LIST

We get questions about the tax implications of buying online businesses all the time.

“Should this be a stock or asset sale?”

“Can I roll my sale into another purchase in a calendar year to avoid taxes?”

“What part of the sale is personal Vs. capital gains?”

We both have experience in buying/selling websites and online businesses, but when it comes to parsing thousands  of pages of tax code to find your loophole – that’s not really something we can do!

But there are people who CAN do that for you and today we sit down with one of them…

In this episode, we sit down with CPA Mario Lucibello to dig into the ins, outs, and upside downs of buying, selling, and investing in websites and online businesses. This guy’s a pro and we get into quite a bit.

Not the most exciting subject, but I had so many questions I just had to keep hammering him for the full hour. Sit back, relax, and let’s talk accounting when it comes to our industry.

Ep #6: Top 7 Last Minute Deal Killers

August 18, 2015 by Aiza Buenaflor 1 Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LISTLosing a deal can be a gut-wrenching experience you’ll want to avoid at all costs.

Getting deep in the process only to have the deal fall through last minute is a huge waste of time, effort, and energy. The emotional swings can make it tough to get back on the horse.

In this episode, Ace and I want to give you a run through of the top 7 deal killers we’ve run across and share some of our personal experiences in losing deals on both the buy and sell side. We’ll look at some of the personality conflicts we’ve run up against, what happens when a change in earnings/traffic happens mid-closing, and some of the signs you might not be working with the best buyer/seller.

We’re hoping that sharing our experiences here will help you avoid losing your own deals at the last minute.
