This conversation delves into the key aspects of acquiring and selling online businesses, including: ✔️ The types and sizes of businesses that are ideal for acquisition ✔️ Common mistakes sellers make and how to avoid them ✔️ Strategies for bolting on businesses to an existing brand ✔️ The process of identifying, acquiring, and financing the right business ✔️ The "leaky bucket" problem and how businesses can save thousands of dollars per month For anyone looking to scale through acquisitions and make smarter investment decisions in the online business space, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how to leverage acquisitions for long-term growth. Episode Highlights 02:40 Marty’s journey as an M&A Advisor 11:30 A good relationship is sometimes the key! 18:00 How to build a growth strategy? 25:00 What’s the timeframe in selling a business? 33:20 Not all businesses are sellable 38:00 Reputation is everything!

12 weeks temu40:46

40:46

What if every business problem—whether it’s a lack of cash flow, resources, or room to grow—could be solved by buying another business? And what if the price or your current finances didn’t have to hold you back? On this episode of the Buying Online Business podcast, host Jaryd Krause talks with Tom Shipley, a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and expert in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Tom has built brands that generated over $2 billion in sales and raised more than $100 million for business acquisitions. He is also the co-founder and CEO of Ava, a company that specializes in helping businesses grow through acquisitions. In their conversation, Tom shares how he got started in acquisitions, including his first deal, which helped him triple his business in a short time. He explains when acquisitions make sense, when they don’t, and how to avoid deals that might drain a business’s resources. Listeners will also hear about: Simple strategies for financing and structuring deals, even with limited cash. How to avoid overpaying or putting too much strain on a business. Key steps in due diligence to ensure a deal is a good fit. This episode is full of practical tips for anyone who wants to use programmatic M&A to solve problems and grow their business. Episode Highlights 02:00 Tom’s journey before diving into Tech M&A 10:45 Knowing seller’s intention is the key 19:00 Be careful of deals that are too good to be true 28:00 Communication is crucial in deals 40: Where to find Tom? Key Takeaways ➥ Even businesses with limited cash flow can acquire larger companies through financing strategies like seller financing, debt structuring, and rolling over equity. The key is to underwrite the acquired business's cash flow and growth potential, not just the buyer's current financial state. ➥ Understanding why a seller is exiting allows for deal structures that benefit both parties, such as monthly payouts instead of lump sums, offering tax advantages and a smoother transition. ➥ Leaders should seek "force multipliers" like acquisitions and AI to achieve disproportionate results with fewer resources. These tools can give businesses an edge in competitive markets. About The Guest Tom Shipley is a serial entrepreneur, ecommerce investor, strategic advisor, speaker and M&A expert. His brands have generated over $2B in sales, are household names and he's raised more than $100M for acquisitions.

How To Value An Ecommerce and SaaS Business for SBA Acquisitions with Ryan Hutchins 38:04

13 weeks temu38:04

Valuing an online business can be a complex process, especially if you're navigating different business models, price ranges, and niches. How do you know what an eCommerce or SaaS business is really worth—and how do you avoid the pitfalls that both buyers and sellers often fall into? In today’s episode of the Buying Online Businesses Podcast, host Jaryd Krause sits down with Ryan Hutchins, a serial entrepreneur and business valuation expert. Ryan shares his experience as the owner of Peak Business Valuations and several other ventures, including plumbing companies, a multi-location bakery, a pizza restaurant chain, and even a stripping company. His unique background offers incredible insights into the world of business valuations, acquisitions, and investing. Together, Jaryd and Ryan dive deep into SBA acquisitions, exploring everything from common mistakes buyers and sellers make to the key differences between valuing eCommerce businesses and SaaS businesses. They discuss the importance of working capital, how SBA loans are approved, and what business valuation firms like Peak Business Valuations look for in eCommerce and SaaS acquisitions. Ryan also shares his thoughts on the risks involved in Amazon-based businesses vs. off-Amazon eCommerce businesses—and why some risks are far more critical than others. Whether you're buying your first online business or looking to scale your acquisitions strategy, this episode is packed with lessons to help you accurately value a business and secure the right deal. If you're considering buying an online business—or just want to better understand the world of business valuations—you won't want to miss this episode! Episode Highlights 02:00 Ryan’s journey on valuing businesses 10:20 Risks of owning an Amazon business 16:00 What are supplier risks? 23:00 How to value a business using an SBA loan? 37:00 Connect with Ryan Key Takeaways ➥ eCommerce businesses tend to have higher risks if sales are Amazon-dependent, as Amazon can change its policies or suspend accounts. SaaS businesses typically have predictable recurring revenue, making them easier to value, but customer churn and tech support are key risks to consider. ➥ Dependency on a few key customers can be risky. If those relationships are tied to the seller personally, customers might leave when the seller exits. ➥ Working capital is essential. Buyers must have enough funds to maintain and grow the business post-acquisition.
