This week Jason Pittman, President and CEO of Exit Advisory joins Nana on Build value By Choice to discuss the newly released BizBuySell insight report ‘Small Business Acquisitions Pick Up in 2021, Beat Pre-Pandemic Levels in 4th Quarter’. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many business brokers surveyed expressed improved market conditions in 2021, with 62% reporting higher transactions than in 2020. Over half (53%) of those attributed growth to a strong demand for businesses that thrived during the pandemic. Forty-six percent (46%) experienced an increase in owners looking to sell, an encouraging stat given the lack of inventory has been the main barrier to market recovery to-date. An equal 46% experienced an increase in buyers as the Great Resignation, SBA aid programs, and low interest rates ignited demand. Over the past year, a record number of workers have left their jobs for a variety of reasons. At the same time, business ownership has been catching entrepreneurs by storm. Over 5 million entrepreneurs applied for business applications in 2021, the largest number ever recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau. At the same time, 21% of business buyers identified as being part of the great resignation and business brokers say 23% of their inquiries came from corporate refugees or newly unemployed seeking ownership. The businesses that are in demand are those in food and beverage services, or those in consumer services like car washes and auto repair. These simpler businesses are more attractive to potential buyers and in some cases have not been as impacted by the recent pandemic. The number one thing that makes a business unsellable is if the owner is the business. Is the owner doing all the work themselves? Having a team in place who will survive a transition is a much more appealing prospect than a business where their best asset is leaving. BEST MOMENTS ‘When you add it up there’s a lot of activity going on. It’s a perfect storm’ ‘There’s a lot of people with cash just looking for the right opportunity’ ‘You need to make sure the business is not too reliant on one individual’ EPISODE RESOURCES Leave a comment or question on the Build Value By Choice Facebook community page Get more resources on infhorizons.com/podcast Know Your Current Valuation: https://bit.ly/get-free-valuation https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonleepittman/ https://www.exit-advisor.com/ Book a 30 Minute Meeting with Nana Bonsu BizBuySell Insight Report Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast and share it.

As a business owner in manufacturing, what should you be looking out for when exit planning, especially in the metal and food production fields? This week on Build Value By Choice, Nana is joined by President and CEO of the business brokerage company, ExitAdvisor, LLC, Jason Pittman. Jason is not just an expert but is also from the Chicago area which is a hotbed for the manipulation of metals and food processing industries. KEY TAKEAWAYS About 41% of owners prefer family transitions, 19% are looking towards an employee stock ownership model, 14% are leaning towards a management buyout, only 7% want to be bought out by their partners, and 10% to be bought out by an external partner. The wholesale and food production side will probably have lower margins as you’re supplying large retail chains. One of the first problems you will run into is running out of space. Inflation tops the list of concerns for small business owners, followed by supply chain issues, then labor, and Covid concerns. Companies looking to tackle their labor issues should look to get their name out there to young people who will shortly be entering the workforce. Talk to your accountant about changes you can make now to increase the value of your business. Things like vacation homes and travel expenses make your business less attractive to potential buyers. BEST MOMENTS ‘A lot of people are planning for years on their future and all they’ve really done is place an arbitrary number on their business worth’ ‘Studying the success of somebody without understanding their drivers for success could be a disaster’ EPISODE RESOURCES Leave a comment or question on the Build Value By Choice Facebook community page Get your free value builder score here bit.ly/get-free-valuation Get more resources on https://infhorizons.com/podcast Jason on LinkedIn exit-advisor.com Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast and share it.

Companies are moving quickly and decisively in the manufacturing industry to digitize their business. 95% of business owners say the pandemic has affected their company and this digitization is a form of future proofing. This week on Build Value By Choice, Nana is joined by President and CEO of the business brokerage company, ExitAdvisor, LLC, Jason Pittman, to discuss all things digitization and how to make your business more sellable. get your free valuation with Nana here https://bit.ly/get-free-valuation KEY TAKEAWAYS The most present issue in how sellable your business is, is covid and its impact on the supply chain. If you have one supplier that you’re depended on you need to look into finding more suppliers and having back-ups. The best way to keep the terms of business deals with suppliers favorable to you, is to have an open dialogue with them and discuss your needs and re-negotiate if the market looks to change. To keep your business in an attractive shape to potential buyers in a financial sense, you shouldn't be running any personal benefits though the company. For example, your personal travel. Keeping your financial documentation up to date will prevent any bumps in the road early on. If you’re looking to sell your business, compiling a list of potential buyers can be advantageous. Knowing who would buy you and what they could afford to spend, who are the major players in your industry. A company which has an owner who is vital to the running of the business is less attractive to potential buyers than one who has a skilled management team. The buyer will have to find a replacement for the job being done by the owner. About half of the deals for small business will fail during due diligence. Pre-due diligence could save you from having your sale fall through. BEST MOMENTS ‘The low hanging fruit is usually financials’ ‘Taking the owner out of the business could potentially grind it to a halt’ ‘You want to turn it over to your kids slowly’ EPISODE RESOURCES Jason's LinkedIn Exit Advisor ABOUT THE GUEST Jason is a business broker and certified value builder in the industrials and manufacturing industries.

(Episode 60) I met Jason Pittman earlier this year through a mutual friend, and we decided to go for an early morning run. I was surprised to discover that Jason had spent the last 15 years working in the Atlanta rock and hip-hop scene. He produced, managed and booked everyone imaginable. His list of heavy hitters includes: Lil John, Bone Crusher, Ying Yang Twins, Too $hort, and David Banner. Find out all of the ways that Jason stayed in the mix. Also hear about his big break in 2007, producing the Shop Boyz mega hit "Party Like A Rockstar". I learned a lot about the music business, and I was reminded what it was like to wait in line at the store for a new record. Tune in for what is one of the most interesting interviews I've done to date. Today's episode is sponsored by Ruckus. Use Code ORM15 for $15 any location.
