He shares his expertise on the factors that make a firm valuable for selling or buying and the most important thing to consider while evaluating a business to buy, such as the client list, operating procedures, or culture of the company.

Brannon also discusses his take on businesses acquiring other businesses that offer different but complementary services and shares his advice for both the seller and the buyer. He delves into how to approach valuation when planning to buy a business and shares his thoughts on virtual firms and how attractive or unattractive they are to buyers.
