Thinking about selling your business? Don’t make a move until you watch this! In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler sits down with Chris Van Dusen — entrepreneur, investor, and private equity insider — to break down everything business owners need to know before an exit.
From understanding enterprise value vs. lifestyle businesses, to decoding EBITDA, business valuation multiples, and the rise of roll-up strategies in private equity, this is a masterclass in selling your business the right way. You’ll also learn about preparing a data room, optimizing operations, and why selling a business takes 12–18 months of prep.
If you’re planning to sell your business, transition to retirement, or just want to maximize your company’s value, this episode is packed with real-world advice from someone who’s successfully exited three companies. Don’t miss the part about the second bite of the apple — it could be worth millions!
