Host Nick Anderson welcomes M&A advisor John Martinka of NoComas Advisory Services to explore how business owners can “exit with style, grace, and more money” even in turbulent times.
Drawing on three decades of experience guiding lower-middle-market deals ($5–15 million enterprise value), John breaks down the real risks—from customer and supply-chain concentration to owner-dependency and financial reporting gaps—and the concrete steps owners must take now to safeguard value.
Packed with vivid examples of tariff shocks, pandemic shutdowns, and market swings, this episode delivers a practical roadmap—diversify your base, build your bench, clean your books, and implement the plan—so you’re ready when opportunity (or necessity) knocks.
