EPISODE 384: Have you thought about the future of your construction business?
Most construction business owners don’t think about selling their businesses. But here’s the reality: One day, your business will either be sold, passed down, or shut down. And if you don’t plan for that right now, you risk walking away with nothing.
So how do you make your business sellable?
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Mark Powers, one of our Systematize Your Construction Business (SYCB) students who’s successfully acquired several construction companies.
With extensive experience as both an owner and investor, Mark shares key factors that make a business sellable and what to avoid when acquiring one.
You’ll learn:
⟶ What makes a construction business attractive to buyers
⟶ Common pitfalls in buying and selling a business
⟶ How to determine your business’s actual value
⟶ Smart acquisition strategies for rapid business growth
…and more!
