Don't Sell Your Business Until You Know This: A Discussion with Scott Mashuda
In this episode of the Premier Path Podcast, Michael Lehman sits down with Scott Mashuda, Founder and Managing Director of REAG, an investment banking and advisory firm specializing in mergers and acquisitions, business valuation, and transition planning, to discuss what business owners should know long before they are ready to sell.
Michael and Scott explore how businesses are valued, what buyers are really looking for, and why purchase price is only one piece of a successful transaction. They discuss the importance of quality of earnings, preparing a business for market, understanding the differences between private equity, strategic buyers, and family offices, and the role an experienced M&A advisor can play in creating competition and protecting value throughout the process.
They also address common deal killers, the emotional side of selling a business, and why building the right team of advisors well before a transition can make all the difference.
