منذ 3 أيام41:52

41:52

Many people want to buy an online business but feel unsure about legal fees, when to hire a lawyer, and what legal due diligence involves. This podcast episode answers those questions. In this episode of the Buying Online Businesses podcast, Jaryd Krause talks with business attorney Eric Hsu. Eric helps professionals leave corporate jobs and start their own businesses by buying existing ones.

Unlike many lawyers, Eric works only on the buyer’s side, which means he is fully focused on protecting buyers. Jaryd and Eric discuss key legal steps in buying a business, including when legal due diligence is needed, what it involves, and how much it costs for deals of different sizes. They also explain the legal work done for letters of intent (LOI), asset purchase agreements, and other contracts. The conversation covers how buyers can include legal fees in SBA loans, what can cause deals to fall apart, and how to avoid costly mistakes.

Key Takeaways ➥ Buyers often skip legal work for deals under $500K, but for larger acquisitions, legal review is crucial to avoid risks and costly mistakes. ➥ Identify potential tax liabilities through diligence and manage them via amnesty filings, indemnity escrows, or increased seller notes. ➥ A well-structured LOI clarifies deal terms, prevents misunderstandings, and makes the closing process smoother. ➥ Buyers using SBA financing can sometimes include legal fees in their loan, making it more affordable to get proper legal support.

Key Takeaways ➥ A proper due diligence framework removes the guesswork in acquisitions, helping buyers make informed decisions.

Using Programmatic M&A For Growth By Acquisition To Solve Every Business Problem You Face with Tom Shipley 40:46

منذ عام واحد40:46

40:46

What if every business problem—whether it’s a lack of cash flow, resources, or room to grow—could be solved by buying another business? And what if the price or your current finances didn’t have to hold you back? On this episode of the Buying Online Business podcast, host Jaryd Krause talks with Tom Shipley, a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, and expert in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Tom has built brands that generated over $2 billion in sales and raised more than $100 million for business acquisitions. He is also the co-founder and CEO of Ava, a company that specializes in helping businesses grow through acquisitions. In their conversation, Tom shares how he got started in acquisitions, including his first deal, which helped him triple his business in a short time. He explains when acquisitions make sense, when they don’t, and how to avoid deals that might drain a business’s resources. Listeners will also hear about: Simple strategies for financing and structuring deals, even with limited cash. How to avoid overpaying or putting too much strain on a business. Key steps in due diligence to ensure a deal is a good fit. This episode is full of practical tips for anyone who wants to use programmatic M&A to solve problems and grow their business. Episode Highlights 02:00 Tom’s journey before diving into Tech M&A 10:45 Knowing seller’s intention is the key 19:00 Be careful of deals that are too good to be true 28:00 Communication is crucial in deals 40: Where to find Tom? Key Takeaways ➥ Even businesses with limited cash flow can acquire larger companies through financing strategies like seller financing, debt structuring, and rolling over equity. The key is to underwrite the acquired business's cash flow and growth potential, not just the buyer's current financial state. ➥ Understanding why a seller is exiting allows for deal structures that benefit both parties, such as monthly payouts instead of lump sums, offering tax advantages and a smoother transition. ➥ Leaders should seek "force multipliers" like acquisitions and AI to achieve disproportionate results with fewer resources. These tools can give businesses an edge in competitive markets. About The Guest Tom Shipley is a serial entrepreneur, ecommerce investor, strategic advisor, speaker and M&A expert. His brands have generated over $2B in sales, are household names and he's raised more than $100M for acquisitions.

How To Value An Ecommerce and SaaS Business for SBA Acquisitions with Ryan Hutchins 38:04

منذ عام واحد38:04

38:04

Valuing an online business can be a complex process, especially if you're navigating different business models, price ranges, and niches. How do you know what an eCommerce or SaaS business is really worth—and how do you avoid the pitfalls that both buyers and sellers often fall into? In today’s episode of the Buying Online Businesses Podcast, host Jaryd Krause sits down with Ryan Hutchins, a serial entrepreneur and business valuation expert. Ryan shares his experience as the owner of Peak Business Valuations and several other ventures, including plumbing companies, a multi-location bakery, a pizza restaurant chain, and even a stripping company. His unique background offers incredible insights into the world of business valuations, acquisitions, and investing. Together, Jaryd and Ryan dive deep into SBA acquisitions, exploring everything from common mistakes buyers and sellers make to the key differences between valuing eCommerce businesses and SaaS businesses. They discuss the importance of working capital, how SBA loans are approved, and what business valuation firms like Peak Business Valuations look for in eCommerce and SaaS acquisitions. Ryan also shares his thoughts on the risks involved in Amazon-based businesses vs. off-Amazon eCommerce businesses—and why some risks are far more critical than others. Whether you're buying your first online business or looking to scale your acquisitions strategy, this episode is packed with lessons to help you accurately value a business and secure the right deal. If you're considering buying an online business—or just want to better understand the world of business valuations—you won't want to miss this episode! 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.

Ben is a PPC expert and even a mathematician, with over 12 years of experience helping big brands like Porsche and Canadian Tire succeed online.

Acquiring Finance To Buy An Online Business with Federal Reserve Bank Advisor Ami Kassar 37:03

منذ عام واحد37:03

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. Ami Kassar is the founder and CEO of MultiFunding, a Philadelphia-based consulting firm specializing in helping business owners across the U.S. find creative, cost-saving financing alternatives. With over 20 years of experience, Ami is a thought leader in the field, frequently advising major institutions like the Federal Reserve Bank, the White House, and Congress. He is also a sought-after speaker at national business events. In this conversation, Jaryd and Ami cover a wide range of topics related to financing online business acquisitions. They discuss everything from the minimum deposits and credit score requirements to how to acquire multiple businesses and build a portfolio using SBA-backed loans. They also dive into how to scale a business portfolio and share key insights into the strategic steps involved in growing a successful online business empire. 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.

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.

Using seller financing (aiming for around 20-30%) can be beneficial as it reduces upfront costs and demonstrates seller confidence in the business.
