Getting Prepared: How to Sell Your Business

Hi Welcome to ValuationPodcast.com - A podcast and video series about all things related to business and valuation.  My name is Melissa Gragg, a valuation expert in St. Louis Missouri.  

During this episode we will discuss the current M&A landscape, business valuations as one of the steps when getting prepared and how to sell your business with Greg Caruso a JD or attorney, CPA and business broker who lives in New Jersey right outside of New York City and works in Maryland and all over the mid-atlantic.    

Welcome Greg!!   

1. Let’s talk about what you are seeing from a mergers and acquisitions standpoint or valuation perspective – are you seeing activity now? 
2. One question we get all the time is about pricing – or what to sell a business for – how are you handling pricing questions in this time period? 
3. Have you seen valuation multiples or EBITDA multiples move up or down during this pandemic? 
4. In talking to small business owners, it seems like they are being approached by buyers more often – what is your advise if someone comes and asks them if their business is for sale? 
5. How are business brokers getting creative in order to sell a business during this economic downturn? 
6. Is now the time to consider buying a franchise or are there other business opportunities to consider? 
7. Tell us more about you and your firm! 
8. You have a new book in the works too…can you tell us anything yet?
