Business Ready For Sale
If you are a business owner this PodCast is for you! It's all about turning businesses into saleable assets. Because a business that's "ready for sale" is well worth keeping! On these podcasts there are interviews with successful business owners, entrepreneurs, topic experts, business valuers and brokers and thought leaders on all aspects of growing businesses and turning them in to valuable, saleable assets. My background is as a business owner, business broker and business owner mentor and I put all that experience together here to benefit other business owners. I believe you can build a business as if you are going to keep it for ever, but could sell it tomorrow. Give yourself OPTIONS because one day you WILL exit your business.

Partnerships are like aircraft. The only ones you hear about are the ones that crash. I keep telling business owners this because when I say to them that getting into a partnership or combining their business with someone else may be a way to grow their business or exit their business, they tell me “I'm not getting into a partnership, they don't work.”
Partnerships can work if you go about things th...

Hence, being interviewed brings things out that ma...

A podcast from my webinar with Juan Perez, IP lawyer with Quest Legal in Perth, Western Australia.
For most small businesses with profits under $500,000 dollars, the industry standard for values is to use an adjusted maintainable net profit for a single owner-operator. However, sometimes there is "hidden value" in a business in the form of intellectual property (IP).
Intellectual property (...
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) has been getting a bad name recently due to some agencies charging clients a lot of money for something that seems like black art.
