Watch Here: https://youtu.be/JhloU4oKlDgAbout the Guest: Todd Sullivan is the co-founder of ExitWise, a platform designed to help business owners maximize the value of their exits by connecting them with the best investment bankers, M&A attorneys, and advisors in their industry. A former entrepreneur with multiple exits—including deals with Microsoft and CBS—Sullivan is on a mission to level the playing field for founders and ensure they don't leave millions on the table when selling their businesses.Key Takeaways:Unsolicited Offers Are Often Lowball Ploys – Many business owners receive unsolicited offers that seem attractive at first glance but are often far below the company's true value. Having the right representation can dramatically shift these offers upward.Preparation Is Key – A successful exit doesn't happen overnight. Business owners should start preparing two to three years in advance, ensuring financials, operational structures, and data rooms are in order.The Right Team Makes All the Difference – Choosing industry-specific investment bankers, M&A attorneys, and advisors can increase deal success rates from under 30% to over 85%. These experts not only help navigate the process but also significantly boost valuation.Understanding Buyer Strategies Is Critical – Buyers are often seasoned dealmakers with playbooks designed to pressure sellers into quick decisions, unrealistic timelines, and one-sided terms. Business owners must learn to control the process and not be rushed into mistakes.Avoid Letting Ego Kill a Deal – Entrepreneurs can sabotage their own exit by overestimating their company's worth or refusing strong offers based on emotional attachment. An objective valuation and disciplined approach are essential.Earnouts and Employment Agreements Need Careful Structuring – Many entrepreneurs struggle when transitioning to employees post-sale. Structuring earnouts correctly can ensure smoother transitions and maximize financial benefits.The Exit Market Is Shifting – With private equity dry powder moving into lower middle market deals, competition for quality businesses is heating up. Those with strong financials, profitability, and growth potential will command the best multiples.Confidentiality in M&A Is Vital – Overexposing a deal by engaging too many buyers can damage business value and create unnecessary risks. A strategic, private approach to negotiations is far superior.--------------------------------------------------Contact Todd onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddfsullivan/--------------------------------------------------

How does a pricing strategy impact a business's exit plan? In a recent podcast discussion with pricing expert Jenny Miller, the critical role of pricing in maximising business value and ensuring sustainable profitability, even under new ownership, was uncovered. One key lesson from the conversation highlighted the significance of systemised pricing and its role in building confidence for potential buyers. Jenny emphasised the need for businesses to demonstrate consistent and reliable revenue streams, strong profit margins, and the ability to manage and communicate price changes effectively. This approach ensures that pricing is not reliant on the owner and can be sustained under new leadership. Understanding the psychology of pricing and transitioning from time-based to value-based pricing also emerged as a strategic solution. By aligning pricing with the perceived value and outcomes for customers, businesses can position themselves as more attractive investments and command higher sale prices.

Are you considering structuring your revenue model like a SaaS to maximise business valuation and sustainability? Sean Tepper explored the importance of reshaping your business revenue model for long-term sustainability and increased business valuation. The main takeaway was the significance of transforming your service-based business into a recurring revenue model, similar to SaaS (Software as a Service). Sean's experience shed light on the challenges of running a project-based agency, where revenue relied solely on landing new projects. This led to a constant hustle for new projects and a lack of predictability in revenue flow. It became clear that structuring the business model to offer monthly recurring services would have resulted in a more sustainable and scalable venture. The transition to a SaaS model not only offers a more predictable revenue stream but also enhances the overall business valuation. By providing customers with a monthly recurring value, businesses can build a membership-like engagement, ensuring a steady flow of revenue and a loyal customer base. So, how can you evolve your service-based business into a recurring revenue model? What steps can you take to structure your revenue model to reflect the benefits of a SaaS offering?

How to Modernize Your Business to Sell at Maximum Value, with Jason Beutler, RoboSource (How To Sell a Business Podcast, Episode 5) Jason Beutler, CEO of RoboSource, joined Ed Mysogland to discuss the different kinds of business automation, why RoboSource uses bots, what's involved in automating processes, what industries benefit from it most, how it maximizes value and reduces overhead, the ROI, and much more. How To Sell a Business Podcast is produced and broadcast by the North Fulton Studio of Business RadioX® in Atlanta. RoboSource RoboSource bots work 24 hours a day, completing monotonous tasks for their clients. Process Automation is the future of work. Soon every business will have a digital workforce alongside its human workforce. Automated processes get work through faster, more efficiently, and more accurately. So what is process automation? Think of all the jobs around the office that your team has to complete every day (or week) to keep the business operational – things like entering information into multiple systems, manning email inboxes, pulling down the same information from a website over and over again. With Robotic Process Automation (RPA), software engineers teach digital bots how to perform those jobs for you. RoboSource can provide process-writing and support for those using RPA on premises. But with their “as-a-service” model, they can also do it all in house, for a low monthly payment, eliminating the usual expense associated with investing in the infrastructure, software, and training. Your cloud-based solution will scale with you, as you find new ways to save time and increase accuracy. With their “as-a-service” model, process automation is more affordable than you'd think. Company website | Instagram | LinkedIn Jason Beutler, CEO, RoboSource Several years ago, Jason Beutler was teaching a college computer engineering class when he realized that his students were writing better code than an outsourced team he was supervising at the same time. And that's how RoboSource was born. With almost 20 years of professional programming experience, you might expect Jason to spend his free time reading fantasy fiction, playing board games, or drinking Mountain Dew. He does. But he also spends a fair amount of time playing competitive sand volleyball and fanning hard-core at Notre Dame football games. His passion for Notre Dame extended to completing his MBA there in 2009. Professionally, Jason is passionate about process improvement and using accountability to grow young developers. He speaks often on this topic, to audiences as diverse as coding conference attendees, classes full of university students, and computer science educators.
