How2Exit Episode 20: Marty Fahncke - executed over $400 million in Mergers and Acquisitions.
Marty M. Fahncke (Pronounced Fawn-Key) had his first business exit experience over 20 years ago when a business he launched with a couple of friends was acquired for 7 figures after just 18 months in business. This resulted in Marty having a completely skewed perception of what it takes to sell a business. He thought every business owner had people knocking on the door waiting to throw wads of cash at them!20 years later, Marty has helped businesses scale to over $1 Billion in revenue, and executed over $400 million in Mergers and Acquisitions. He and his partners are actively acquiring businesses in a variety of verticals, including e-commerce, consumer goods, health & wellness, agencies, SaaS, and more. He is also an M&A Advisor, helping business owners on both sell-side, and buy-side, helping companies execute a “Growth through acquisition” strategyAfter dozens of transactions, he now knows that buying or selling a business can be frustrating, stressful, and time-consuming. But it can also be rewarding, fun, and of course, lucrative. Today, Marty is here to share with our listeners what he's learned in the M&A trenches, and he hopes to help you remove some of the frustration and stress, and focus on the fun and financial rewards of buying and selling businesses. --------------------------------------------------Contact Marty onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martyfahncke/Website: https://www.westboundroad.com/----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reach me to sell me your business, be on my podcast or just share some love:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronskelton/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ronaldskeltonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/How2ExitHave suggestions, comments, or want to tell us about a business for sale call our hotline and leave a message: 918-641-4150----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/kvHk4hbxnOM----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Other interviews:Zoran Sarabaca: https://youtu.be/OLqszNP7yHYJohn Andrews: https://youtu.be/vmGWbd2y5x0Chris Daigle: https://youtu.be/jHWzFGRbpD4Arturo Henriquez: https://youtu.be/uwN7y8AE4EQJoe Valley: https://youtu.be/ZQLdybxcZKsChristopher Wick: https://youtu.be/xhIf9ltgedAJonathan Brabrand: https://youtu.be/oC82Ls54CXoCarl Allen: https://youtu.be/VIU2Lqj_FY4Klint Kendrick: https://youtu.be/eJ2GICCj2TAWalker Deibel: https://youtu.be/xoUH_Ixeook--------------------------------------------------Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/how2exit-buy-don-t-build-m-a-of-small-businesses--4859429/support.
