SmallBiz Virtual Summit Podcast Welcomes Renowned M&A Expert Jonathan “JB” Brown

The SmallBiz Virtual Summit podcast, hosted by Ken Massa and Chuck Boyce, is thrilled to welcome renowned mergers and acquisitions expert Jonathan “JB” Brown as the featured guest. In this insightful episode, JB shares his extensive knowledge and experiences navigating the complex world of business exits and acquisitions.

“JB’s expertise in this area is truly invaluable,” said Ken Massa. “He has an incredible depth of understanding when it comes to helping business owners prepare for a successful exit, whether that means selling their business or simply removing themselves from the day-to-day operations.”

During the episode, JB delves into the nuanced meaning of “exit” and how it can encompass more than just the sale of a business. He emphasizes the importance of understanding your personal motivations and goals, as well as your business’s unique characteristics when considering an exit strategy.

“A lot of entrepreneurs think that exiting their business means simply selling it off,” said JB. “But what we’ve found is that for many of our clients, the real need is to remove themselves as the bottleneck in their business and enjoy a better quality of life, without necessarily having to sell the entire operation.”

JB also shares insights on the critical steps business owners should take to prepare for a potential acquisition or exit, including the importance of understanding your financials, customer acquisition costs, and overhead. Additionally, he highlights the value of having a neutral third-party advisor to navigate the often emotional process of selling a business.

“The role of an intermediary is so much more than just facilitating the transaction,” said JB. “They can be the ‘adult in the room,’ helping to manage the emotions and protect the long-term relationship between the buyer and seller, even if there are contentious moments during the negotiation.”

Whether you’re a business owner considering an exit, or an aspiring entrepreneur looking to acquire a company, this episode of the SmallBiz Virtual Summit podcast is a must-listen. Tune in to discover the secrets to a seamless business exit and acquisition strategy.
