Searching is Becoming a Completive Sport with Josh Levine | Ep. 36

Before you buy or sell a business, hear Josh Levine on the nuances and evolving trends in the business acquisition landscape.

In today’s podcast episode, I am joined again (see episode 5) by Josh Levine of Private Market Labs where we talk about:

• Importance of Focus: Presenting a clear and specific investment thesis helps you stand out to brokers and streamlines the decision-making process.
• Role of Brokers: Using brokers can expedite the acquisition process and increase the likelihood of closure, although the quality of brokers can vary.
• Market Dynamics: The increase in searcher activity and higher interest rates are significantly shaping the current business acquisition environment.
• Economic Impact: Covid-19 and interest rate changes have introduced new challenges but also opened up opportunities in the market.
• Mentorship and Support: Engaging with mentors and support networks is crucial for navigating the complexities of buying and running a business.

Listen in for valuable perspectives on navigating the acquisition process, industry trends, and the future outlook for buyers and sellers.
