Defenders of Business Value

About Defenders of Business Value

The Defenders of Business Value Podcast combines over 30 years of valuation and exit planning expertise working with business owners. Ed Mysogland has a mission and vision to help business owners understand the value of their business. Most of the small business owner's net worth is locked in the company, and to unlock it, a business owner has to sell it. Unfortunately, the odds are against business owners that they won't be able to sell their companies because they don't know what creates a saleable asset. Ed interviews experts who help business owners prepare, build, preserve, and one-day transfer value with the sale of the business.

[…] And that's a big risk because, and again, none of it's documented. So again, when a buyer or investor wants to come in, they're looking at this And it's like they're trying to figure out, OK, what's the transition plan? And they're looking at it from an opportunity standpoint. So they're trying to see, OK, how do we identify this secret sauce, this DNA of the company? And how do we 10 exit or five exit or whatever?
