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.

What if acquiring the finance to buy an online business was easier than expected? What if it turned out that you didn't need as much upfront capital as you thought? In this episode, Jaryd Krause explores these questions with Ami Kassar.

For those looking to buy their first online business or expand their portfolio, this episode is packed with valuable information to help navigate the complexities of business finance. Let's get started!     Episode Highlights 02:30 Process of buying a business using financing 10:00 Explore SBA first! 18:00 Not every lender fits every situation 24:30 Know your risk tolerance when buying a business! Key Takeaways ➥ Online businesses often lack physical collateral, so lenders focus on cash flow when approving loans. This makes SBA loans a good fit for financing online businesses. ➥ SBA loans typically offer better terms than private lenders, who might offer quicker, riskier loans with shorter repayment periods. The SBA's longer repayment terms (up to 10 years) are often more manageable. ➥ Business owners should be cautious about overleveraging themselves, particularly when buying smaller businesses as their first venture. It's essential to ensure the business is stable enough to handle debt repayment.     About The Guest Ami Kassar, author of The Growth Dilemma, speaks nationally to entrepreneurs and business owners who desire money to grow their companies, improve cash flow and/or restructure debt.

What's holding you back from buying an online business? In this solo episode of the Buying Online Businesses podcast, Jaryd Krause takes on listener questions, diving into key topics that often challenge aspiring online business owners. Recently, Jaryd reached out to his audience, asking, "If you could have a free coaching session with me, what are the top three questions you'd ask?" The response was overwhelming, so he dedicated this episode to answer as many as possible. Listeners can expect valuable insights on essential topics like mindset, AI trends, shifts in search, content site opportunities, and alternative business models. Jaryd also covers important considerations around risks, niche selection, business size, funding methods, and overcoming money blockages. For those looking to take their next steps in online business, this episode offers golden nuggets of advice.  Catch this episode and explore more about online businesses! Episode Highlights 03:45 How to sell a low revenue company? 08:50 When do you need a mentor? 15:30 Do you need to focus on profits when buying a business? 22:00 How to scale an online business? 33:00 What online business to buy? Key Takeaways ➥ Jaryd emphasizes the importance of thorough due diligence, recommending his framework to mitigate risks. For smaller deals, investing in a due diligence framework rather than high-cost external advisors may be more economical. ➥ Building a network, joining relevant groups, and engaging in cold outreach can help find deals before they reach larger brokers or platforms, allowing buyers to secure potentially better opportunities. ➥ Scaling an online business to high profitability, such as $250K annually, is possible but typically requires substantial experience, dedication, and a long-term vision. Success in this arena often hinges on persistence, problem-solving, and staying committed rather than rapid gains with minimal experience.     Resource Links ➥ Sell your business to us here - https://buyingonlinebusinesses.com/sell-your-business/ ➥ Buying Online Businesses Website - https://buyingonlinebusinesses.com ➥ Download the Due Diligence Framework - https://buyingonlinebusinesses.com/freeresources/ ➥ GoDaddy (Website Hosting & Buying Domains) - https://bit.ly/3YiRkWV ➥ SEM Rush (SEO tool) - https://bit.ly/3lINGaV ➥ Convert Kit (Email Software Provider) - https://bit.ly/3o10Xgx

It's time to spice things up as we explore the cutting-edge trends and insights in the world of SEO and AI. We are thrilled to introduce our guest today, Eli Schwartz.

He has collaborated with leading B2B and B2C companies, helping clients like Shutterstock, Coinbase, WordPress, Blue Nile, Quora, and Zendesk generate millions in revenue through highly successful global SEO strategies. Jaryd and Eli discuss what's happened in the landscape of SEO from 2011 to 2024 and what it's going to look like well into the future? Why are most AI businessesn't actually helping users, and how is Google? Why should we be bullish on not just Google but SEO moving forward for all platforms? Why is it not about keywords anymore and what's it actually about?  They also talked about how to create content that Google and all search engines will love? (Hint hint, don't create for just the search engine itself - you'll see what we mean during the pod.). Before we dive in, make sure to hit the subscribe button. Now, let's jump into today's episode!   Episode Highlights 04:30 How Google is changing the digital landscape? 11:20 Who will be greatly affected by the changes in Google Search?  18:00 What is Eli's assumption on Search Generative Experience (SGE)? 28:10 Don't do sneaky games with Google! 34:50 Be an expert in the space 40:30 Keywords aren't necessary anymore   Key Takeaways ➥ Eli Schwartz discussed the significant changes happening in SEO and search engine practices, driven primarily by the integration of AI. He emphasized that Google's recent shifts are not entirely voluntary but rather necessary to stay relevant amidst the growing influence of AI and competitive pressures. These changes aim to address the evolving digital landscape and user expectations but also present challenges and opportunities for websites and content creators. ➥ Jaryd and Eli agreed that while AI tools are touted heavily, their actual daily use and integration into workflows remain limited. They highlight that Google's SEO landscape is shifting toward higher-quality content, which will impact websites relying on keyword-driven, commoditized content. Eli also predicts that Google may strategically limit the rollout of its Search Generative Experience (SGE) to balance innovation with practical user and business needs. ➥ Jaryd and Eli talked about how Google's ongoing helpful content updates affect publishers and content creators. Schwartz compared these updates to the 2011 Panda update, which moved focus from keyword-heavy, low-quality content to user-friendly, high-quality content. They discussed Google's efforts to keep search results good despite challenges from AI and bad SEO practices. The main point was that creators should focus on making users happy instead of trying to trick Google's algorithm. This approach will benefit both users and content creators, no matter the platform.   About The Host Eli Schwartz is the bestselling author of Product-Led SEO and an SEO expert and consultant with more than a decade of experience working for leading B2B and B2C companies.
