5+ Mistakes Sellers Make When Exiting Their Business with Domenic Rinaldi 26:33

vor 14 hours26:33

26:33

Exiting a business can be one of the most rewarding moments of an entrepreneur’s journey—or one of the most costly mistakes if handled poorly. Many sellers unknowingly leave hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars, on the table simply because they aren’t prepared for the exit process. Jaryd Krause speaks with Domenic Rinaldi , a seasoned M&A advisor and owner of Sun Acquisitions , who has successfully guided over 500 business transactions . As the founder of K2 Advisor , Domenic specializes in helping business owners understand exactly what it takes to execute a profitable and stress-free exit. Together, they break down the biggest mistakes sellers make when exiting their businesses and how to avoid them. You’ll discover: ✔️ How owner involvement and single-source dependencies can destroy your business valuation ✔️ Why many sellers are blindsided by market shifts, tariffs, and environmental changes ✔️ The critical role of value drivers and how to identify them before going to market ✔️ What can go catastrophically wrong during a deal—and how the right advisory team can prevent it ✔️ Why you should always be “exit ready,” even if selling isn’t on your immediate horizon If you’re preparing to sell your business—or simply want to protect the value you’ve built—this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you exit on top. 🎧 Listen now and learn how to exit your business the smart way. Episode Highlights 02:18 – Why most sellers leave money on the table when exiting their business 05:42 – How owner dependence and single-source revenue can destroy valuation 08:15 – Common risks in the current market, including tariffs and environmental changes 11:35 – Value drivers Domenic looks for when assessing a business for sale 14:50 – The importance of due diligence and how small oversights can become costly 17:30 – Why sellers must always be “exit-ready,” even if they’re not planning to sell soon 20:10 – Choosing the right advisory team: lawyers, accountants, and M&A experts who can make or break your exit Key Takeaways ➥ Seller mistakes are costly. Failing to prepare for an exit can result in leaving hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of dollars on the table. ➥ Owner dependency kills value. Businesses overly reliant on the owner, single customers, or single traffic sources are heavily discounted by buyers. ➥ Market conditions matter. External factors like tariffs, environmental shifts, or regulatory changes can impact valuation. Smart sellers plan for these contingencies in advance. ➥ Value drivers determine your sale price. Revenue diversity, strong cash flow, and documented systems all increase buyer confidence and the multiple you can command. ➥ Due diligence is non-negotiable. Small errors or overlooked liabilities can derail a deal. A proactive approach prevents last-minute surprises. ➥ Always be exit-ready. Even if you’re not planning to sell, setting up your business for a smooth exit ensures you’re prepared for unexpected life events or market opportunities. ➥ The right team is critical. Experienced lawyers, accountants, and M&A advisors can prevent deal disasters and protect your financial outcome.

How AI + Systems Is The Only Way To Grow Your Business with David Jenyns 40:08

vor 8 Tagen40:08

40:08

Running a business is about building something that works without you, not just putting in the hours. But far too many entrepreneurs stay stuck in the weeds, overwhelmed by daily tasks and unclear on how to truly scale. That’s where systems—and now, AI—change everything. In this conversation, Jaryd Krause is joined by David Jenyns, founder of Systemology and author of SYSTEMology and The Systems Champion , to unpack how smart systems combined with the power of AI are transforming the way online businesses grow. David has built and sold multiple companies, helped hundreds of business owners systemize their operations, and now leads the conversation on how AI can be used not just to support teams, but to replace certain roles altogether. You’ll learn: ✔️ How to use AI to build and improve systems in your business ✔️ Why experienced talent plus AI is replacing the traditional VA model ✔️ How to step back from your business without losing momentum ✔️ Real-life examples of AI replacing inefficiencies and boosting profits When it comes to growing your business, reclaiming your time, and creating something that endures, this episode is packed with useful strategies and steps to follow. 🎧 Tune in now and learn how to scale smarter with the systems + AI advantage. Episode Highlights 01:44 – Why systemizing your business is critical for growth and freedom 06:15 – How to commit fully and overcome resistance when building systems 12:30 – The role and impact of a systems champion in scaling your business 19:30 – Where a systems champion fits in and how to identify the right person 22:00 – The transformative power of AI in systemizing processes and operations 27:30 – Real-life example of AI disrupting traditional business documentation 32:00 – How AI enhances the productivity of skilled team members and shrinks teams 35:00 – Using AI strategically to outperform competitors and grow faster Key Takeaways ➥ Committing fully to systemizing your business culture is essential; half-measures lead to failure due to team resistance. ➥ Hiring a systems champion is critical—they drive the systemization process and embed a culture of repeatability and efficiency. ➥ Business owners need to shift focus from daily tasks to strategic growth, enabled by well-documented systems and strong teams. ➥ AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini accelerate system documentation, process optimization, and strategic decision-making. ➥ AI adoption leads to smaller, more skilled teams who leverage technology to produce higher-quality results. ➥ Privacy concerns around AI data use require careful selection of secure platforms to protect business information. ➥ The systems champion role is evolving to include AI management, programming workflows, and ensuring the accuracy of AI outputs. ➥ Businesses embracing AI and systems now will stay competitive; those who resist risk falling behind in a rapidly changing landscape. About David Jenyns David Jenyns is an experienced entrepreneur who sold the Melbourne Cricket Ground in his early twenties and founded Melbourne SEO Services. He systematized himself out of that business in 2016 and founded SYSTEMology to help business owners implement systems to scale their business. Today, he supports a growing community of certified SYSTEMologists, delivers workshops, keynote addresses hosts a podcast, and is on a mission to free business owners worldwide from daily operations.

Nuances In Buying A Business With SBA with Yankie Markowitz 40:30

vor 15 Tagen40:30

40:30

Understanding the fine print that could make or break your deal is just as important when purchasing a business with SBA financing as it is when obtaining a loan. All too frequently, buyers lose out on opportunities or become mired in transactions that don't fit the program because they are unaware of the nuances of SBA regulations. The CEO of SBA Loan Group, Yankie Markowitz, sits down with Jaryd Krause in this episode to discuss his extensive knowledge of SBA loans and how he has facilitated more than $1 billion in SBA and real estate transactions. Yankie explains which business categories are eligible for SBA financing, what has changed recently, and how to handle the complex world of debt ratios, deal structures, and cash requirements. You’ll learn: ✔️ Which businesses can—and can’t—be acquired with SBA loans ✔️ How much cash do you need to qualify ✔️ Why e-commerce fits well with SBA financing, and where it falls short ✔️ The ins and outs of seller notes, holdbacks, and loan terms ✔️ Real-world lessons from deals that worked—and ones that didn’t This episode provides useful, straightforward advice from one of the most seasoned SBA specialists in the industry, regardless of whether you're prepared to purchase your first company or want to improve your acquisition approach. 🎧 To learn how to make SBA financing work for you and get closer to financial independence, listen now. Episode Highlights 06:15 – Eligibility requirements and the role of creditworthiness in SBA loan approval 10:30 – Structuring deposits and how larger down payments can secure better interest rates 15:45 – Differences in loan terms and amortization for business vs. real estate purchases 20:20 – Prepayment penalties and their impact on SBA loan flexibility 23:00 – Utilizing seller notes and financing strategies in SBA deals 29:50 – Debt service coverage ratios and the importance of consistent cash flow Key Takeaways ➥ SBA financing is highly versatile, supporting working capital, inventory, real estate, and refinancing, but buyers must understand eligibility and lender-specific nuances. ➥ Seller financing (seller notes) can be incorporated into SBA deals but requires careful structuring to meet lender requirements and ensure adequate cash flow. ➥ Business valuation multiples generally range from 3-5x EBITDA for traditional businesses; higher multiples (like software businesses) often require substantially more equity upfront. ➥ Owning an existing profitable business simplifies acquiring complementary businesses by leveraging combined cash flow to support additional debt. ➥ Sustainable growth beats rapid expansion; business owners must carefully manage operational costs and cash flow to avoid overextension post-acquisition. About Yankie Markowitz Yankie Markowitz is the Chief Executive Officer of SBA Loan Group. Yankie has helped facilitate over $1 billion dollars in SBA and real estate transactions, and complex deal syndication. He is often sought out by bankers to help structure intricate SBA transactions because of his knowledge and unique experience with the U.S. Small Business Administration loan programs. Yankie is an Executive Board member for the Regional Business Assistance Corporation (an SBA CDC) and has been on the Loan Committee which allows him to work on hundreds of transactions for SBA each year. He also serves as a Board Member of Crown Heights Young Entrepreneur, a non-profit that is a full-service business resource center specifically tailored to fit the unique needs for aspiring entrepreneurs that focus on promoting responsible business development and providing them with the tools and resources that they need in order to achieve lifelong financial independence.

M&A Talk On Why Sellers Won’t Sell & Buyers Won’t Buy with Matt Frisca 34:54

vor 22 Tagen34:54

34:54

Buying or selling a business isn’t just a transaction — it’s a turning point. But too often, what buyers think they want and what sellers believe they deserve don’t line up with reality. The result? Stalled deals, missed opportunities, and plenty of frustration on both sides. In this episode, Jaryd Krause sits down with Matt Frisca , owner of Transworld Business Advisors of La Grange and Tinley Park, to unpack the biggest reasons deals fail—and what it really takes to make them work. With 20+ business sales closed annually and 50+ active listings, Matt shares real-world insights from both sides of the table. You’ll learn: ✔️ Why sellers struggle to exit cleanly ✔️ Common mistakes buyers make (and how to avoid them) ✔️ The truth about SBA financing and “no money down” deals ✔️ What due diligence really looks like in today’s market Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious, this episode delivers raw advice and actionable strategies from a dealmaker who knows the game. 🎧 Listen now and get the inside track on what actually moves the needle in business acquisitions. Episode Highlights 12:40 – Importance of motivated sellers and avoiding lead oversaturation 15:45 – The three biggest reasons businesses fail to sell: lack of motivation, messy financials, and unrealistic pricing 19:30 – Recent SBA lending rule changes and fees 22:45 – Why “no money down” deals are unrealistic 24:40 – Risks of inexperienced buyers buying big businesses 28:10 – How to be an attractive, prepared buyer 33:15 – Balancing due diligence and trust to avoid “paralysis by analysis” Key Takeaways ➥ Motivated sellers, clean financials, and realistic prices are crucial. ➥ Content marketing is replacing paid ads due to cost hikes. ➥ Seller equity rollovers now carry higher risk for sellers. ➥ “No money down” deals rarely work; buyers need funds and experience. ➥ Private equity adds competition for deals under $5M. ➥ Prepared buyers with financing and clear plans succeed more. ➥ Avoid overanalyzing—take calculated risks to close deals. About Matt Frisca Matt Friscia runs and owns the Transworld Business Advisors of La Grange and Tinley Park with his team of 9 agents and one administrative assistant, focusing on main street and lower mid-market business brokerage. Their office handles over 20 successful closes a year, and they typically are working 50+ business for sale listings at any given time. Before joining Transworld, Matt worked in media sales for 15 years. Ten of those years were with the Disney company within their ESPN, ABC, and Radio Disney brands. He bought his first business, which was a franchise in the senior care field, back in 2016. He successfully grew that company and ultimately sold it five years later with Transworld Business Advisors. His passion is helping small business owners with their business exit transactions while helping to super serve the underserved community of small businesses. Besides having played music professionally for the past 28 years, he enjoys watching his two children play sports, traveling and learning languages.

Dive deep into the importance of due diligence, the common pitfalls buyers fall into, and how Jerome has helped high-profile clients—both on Wall Street and in the sports world—navigate complex transactions and build generational wealth. Whether you're looking to buy your first online business, scale your portfolio, or just want a masterclass in deal-making from someone who lives and breathes it, this episode delivers powerful insights and practical strategies. Don’t miss this one—it’s packed with value from start to finish. Episode Highlights 04:45 – Current valuations explained, covering how tariffs and supply chain issues impact multiples and buyer decisions. 07:20 – Typical ways buyers finance acquisitions, including credit lines, SBA loans, equity rollovers, and search funds. 10:55 – Major mistake buyers make by rushing post-acquisition integration without building trust within the team. 12:45 – What successful acquisitions have in common by retaining key team members and valuing the founder’s knowledge. 24:10 – Key risk prevention strategies involving thorough reps and warranties, clear earnout terms, strong IP protections, and precise legal language. 26:30 – Why clear definitions around risk and performance clauses are vital. Key Takeaways ➥ M&A valuations currently range from 3–8x EBITDA for traditional companies and 10–15x for platform tech businesses, influenced heavily by tariffs and market uncertainty. ➥ Buyers typically operate in the $2M to $25M+ EBITDA range and rely on strong banking relationships, SBA loans, or creative financing like equity rollovers. ➥ Structuring deal terms clearly—especially reps and warranties and material adverse effect clauses—is critical to managing risk in acquisitions. ➥ Post-acquisition integration is one of the toughest challenges; involving existing teams and respecting founders’ knowledge leads to smoother transitions. ➥ Restrictive covenants are essential to prevent sellers from competing after the sale and protect buyer investments. ➥ Every deal is unique and requires customized, creative solutions; cookie-cutter approaches don’t work in M&A.

In this solo episode, Jaryd Krause pulls back the curtain on everything you need to know before buying your first (or next) profitable online business. No guest this time—just Jaryd, and over ten years of real-world experience helping thousands of people build financial freedom through smart acquisitions. This episode is a deep dive inspired by Jaryd’s most-watched YouTube content and the questions he hears constantly from aspiring buyers: Why should you buy a profitable business? How much should you invest? Should you use your cash or finance the deal? And where are people buying these businesses today? Get ready for a no-fluff breakdown of: ✔️ Why buying a profitable online business can fast-track your path to income and freedom ✔️ How much capital do you need to get started (spoiler: it’s not always as much as you think) ✔️ The truth about financing a deal—and what creative structures work ✔️ Where to find legitimate, vetted businesses for sale right now ✔️ The rookie mistakes that could cost you thousands—and how to avoid them This isn’t financial advice—but it is packed with insights from someone who’s helped people go from browsing listings to building six- and seven-figure digital business portfolios. If you’re ready to move from dreaming to doing, this episode will show you exactly what to consider, what to avoid, and where the real opportunities are in 2025’s online business marketplace.

Justin’s journey is far from ordinary. After dropping out of college, he and his wife, Tara, left their careers to pursue financial freedom. Their first business left them $120,000 in debt, living in a shared house with a newborn. Instead of quitting, they shifted to real estate, flipping over 100 houses a year and launching House Flipping HQ, a real estate education company that helped thousands succeed. Justin revealed how he sold his real estate education business for over $3.5 million—covering the why, when, and how. They dive into the unconventional yet strategic deal structure when selling to an operator already in the business. Then he delved into wealth building through business and real estate. Justin explains if he’d buy an online business, how he’d finance it, and the math behind buying a $2M business, hiring an operator, and earning $300K net profit annually without running it himself. Gain insights on: ✔️ When is the right time to sell your business? ✔️ The differences between investing in real estate vs. digital businesses ✔️ How to build sustainable wealth without burning out ✔️ And most powerfully—how Justin got through the lowest points of his journey. If you're looking for real talk about business, money, mindset, and freedom, this is the episode for you.
