Acquiring A Business & Doubling The Traffic In A Few Short Months with Ryan Condie
Buying Online Businesses Podcast
Acquiring a Business with Significant Debt and Exploiting Growth Opportunities
Exploring the decision to acquire a business with significant debt and the strategy to make it profitable without growth, while also absorbing the debt instead of paying it off.
Imagine doubling your website traffic just a few months after buying it. It might sound so simple, but the truth is, it requires a strategic approach.
Once more, I have invited Ryan Condie to share his expert advice for acquiring a business and growing its traffic.
Ryan Condie's primary focus revolves around the acquisition, expansion, and retention of online businesses. With a track record of establishing 8 businesses—of which 2 flourished and 6 encountered setbacks—his experience highlights the dynamic nature of entrepreneurship. Additionally, Ryan's portfolio includes the acquisition of 5 businesses, all of which he diligently nurtures while concurrently fulfilling his role as an M&A advisor at QuietLight Brokerage.
We had a conversation about how to partner with someone when buying a business and how to stay partners in business for the long term. What did Ryan buy, and why did he buy a distressed asset? And how did they turn it around to double the traffic in just a few months?
We also talked about how he found the deal and became a better business investor. How do I buy larger assets and build a solid online business portfolio? Lastly, Ryan shares his advice for first time business buyers.
