Podcast appearances and mentions of David Barnett

This week, in Episode 245, a new regular, David Barnett, joins the podcast along with Jaci Russo and William Vanderbloemen. David, who has been a guest on the podcast before, helps people buy and sell businesses—but, as he explains, he's not a business broker. He's found a different business model. David, Jaci, and William discuss why it's so hard to sell a business, what owners can do to make their businesses more attractive to buyers, and why it can be in everyone's interest for sellers to accept an earnout. Plus: Jaci talks about why she used a recruiter to help her hire a business development person and why she ended up choosing someone who checked none of the boxes she initially thought most important. “I thought I needed some hotshot East Coast, West Coast, big city dude who came in with all the slick talk,” she tells us. Instead, she found her winner in rural Alabama. 

The problem, says David Barnett, who helps people buy and sell businesses, is that if we all hang on to our cash, we will definitely have a recession. David, who's based in Canada, also talks about how the current disruption looks from north of the border, what advice he's giving to people trying to buy or sell businesses, and where there might be opportunities lurking within the uncertainty.

David shares expert insights into buying and selling small businesses, highlighting why acquiring an existing business can be faster, easier, and less risky than starting from scratch. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/556-david-barnett-buy-right-business/ Thinking about buying a business but unsure where to start? In this episode, David Barnett, business consultant, author, and expert in small business acquisitions, joins Henry Lopez to share practical strategies for buying and selling businesses successfully. David explains why acquiring an existing business is often faster, easier, and less risky than starting from scratch, how to find the right business to buy, and common mistakes to avoid when structuring a deal. David also breaks down key financial considerations, including seller financing, avoiding excessive debt, and ensuring cash flow sustainability. Plus, he shares insight into how to identify a motivated seller and why the so-called "silver tsunami" of baby boomer business sales may not be what many expect. "It's not about just getting the deal done - it's about ensuring you don't overpay and that the business will actually work for you after the purchase." – David Barnett Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced entrepreneur, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you make smarter business decisions and avoid costly mistakes. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez. The How of Business podcast focuses on helping you start, run and grow your small business.

This week, in episode 231, special guest David Barnett, who started helping owners buy and sell businesses in 2008, offers some guidance on an often-misunderstood sales process. Early on, David was a business broker. “I sold over three dozen companies for other people,” he tells us, “and it was very interesting and exciting. It was also a terrible business.” So he changed business models but has continued to do pretty much the same work. As a result, he's amassed a lot of first-hand knowledge, much of which he shares in our conversation, including: why many owners fail to think of their business as an asset, why sellers shouldn't be too quick to reject earnouts, why buyers should consider making multiple offers for the same business, how buyers can protect against the post-purchase loss of important customers, why businesses are selling for less than they were a couple of years ago, why there may be a smarter way to buy a business than by scouring business-for-sale websites, and why there really isn't a true market for buying and selling small businesses.

Owning a small business is challenging, and selling it can be a complex process. Having someone with industry experience in your corner can make a huge difference. Joining us today is David Barnett, former finance broker turned business broker then consultant. As a finance broker, he witnessed firsthand the struggles small business owners encounter when buying or selling a business. Now through his consulting, he provides unbiased advice, prioritizing client needs without the conflicts of interest often associated with commission-based brokerage. Preparing Your Business for a Smooth Handoff: A Guide to Profitable Exits David emphasizes the value of strong business connections and highlights the critical factors in a successful business sale: robust cash flow and well-defined, transferable processes that enable a smooth transition for a new owner.

Buying VS Starting A Small Business with David Barnett   In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, David C. Barnett, a seasoned expert in buying and selling small businesses shares his insights into the world of business acquisition versus starting a new business. We dive into what makes a business "sell-ready" and explore how preparing your business for sale can improve not only its value but also its profitability and enjoyment. If you're considering growth, David offers invaluable advice on leveraging acquisitions as a path to expansion. In this episode, you will learn: The key differences between buying an existing business and starting a new one. Why having a "sell-ready" business can make it more profitable—even if you don't sell it. Strategies for preparing your business to attract the right buyer. How to use acquisitions to grow and scale your business quickly and effectively. Key Takeaways: Sell-Ready Businesses are More Fun David emphasizes that businesses designed with a potential sale in mind often run smoother, making them more enjoyable to operate. Owners of sell-ready businesses tend to focus on systems, profitability, and efficiency, which naturally lead to better financial outcomes and less day-to-day stress. Buy vs. Start: Understanding the Mindset of a Buyer If you're planning to sell, understanding the buyer's mindset is crucial. Buyers are looking for businesses that are stable, profitable, and well-documented. By focusing on what potential buyers want, you can make your business more attractive and profitable. Growth Through Acquisition For business owners looking to expand, acquiring similar businesses can be a faster and often less risky way to grow. By purchasing businesses in other markets or regions, you can take advantage of your existing knowledge and systems, mitigating the risk that comes with starting from scratch. Make It Sell-Ready, Even if You Don't Sell Preparing your business as if you were going to sell it can have surprising benefits. When systems are in place and the business runs efficiently, owners often find themselves less eager to sell because the business is more fun and profitable to run. Bio: David C.

Episode Summary: In the latest How2Exit podcast, host Ronald Skelton welcomes back David Barnett, an expert in small and medium-sized business transactions. They discuss the risks of over-leveraging in business acquisitions and offer insights on mastering business deals without financial pitfalls. Barnett shares his knowledge on proper business leverage, the impact of SBA interventions, and the challenges of buying a business with minimal down payment. He contrasts debt-equity structures in large companies with the small business sector and emphasizes prudence, long-term planning, and cash flow management for successful business purchases.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the greatest European playwrights of the twentieth century. The aim of Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) was to make the familiar ‘strange': with plays such as Mother Courage and The Caucasian Chalk Circle he wanted his audience not to sit back but to engage, observe and discover the contradictions in life, and act on what they learnt. He developed this approach in turbulent times, from Weimar Germany to the rise of the Nazis, to exile in Scandinavia and America and then post-war life in East Berlin, and he has since inspired dramatists around the world.WithLaura Bradley Professor of German and Theatre at the University of EdinburghDavid Barnett Professor of Theatre at the University of YorkAnd Tom Kuhn Professor of Twentieth Century German Literature, Emeritus Fellow of St Hugh's College, University of OxfordProducer: Simon Tillotson In Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio productionReading list: David Barnett, Brecht in Practice: Theatre, Theory and Performance (Bloomsbury, 2014)David Barnett, A History of the Berliner Ensemble (Cambridge University Press, 2015)Laura Bradley and Karen Leeder (eds.), Brecht and the GDR: Politics, Culture, Posterity (Camden House, 2015)Laura Bradley, ‘Training the Audience: Brecht and the Art of Spectatorship' (The Modern Language Review, 111, 2016)Bertolt Brecht (ed.

Kerry Lutz interviewed David Barnett about his book "Smarter Than a Startup," which advocates for buying an existing business instead of starting a new one. Barnett explains that buying a profitable business reduces risk and provides an incubation base for new ideas. They also discuss the importance of customer service and setting expectations in the property management industry, the pros and cons of franchising, and the challenges of buying and selling businesses in the current economic climate. Barnett notes that higher interest rates are making it more difficult for buyers to pay top dollar for businesses, and that sellers who are not paying attention to these changes may find that their businesses are worth even less down the road. They conclude by discussing the importance of learning from past experiences and developing oneself in order to succeed in business.
