Episode notes
Who will own the businesses a generation spent building?
In this audio edition of The EPIC Advantage, Vic Keller looks at the business-ownership side of the silver tsunami and what it means for owners preparing to sell and entrepreneurs considering an acquisition.
He explains why profitability alone doesn’t make a company ready for a new owner, what buyers should look for, and why preparation matters years before a deal.
In this episode:
- What makes a business transferable beyond its founder.
- Why established, essential businesses deserve a buyer’s attention.
- How to avoid buying the retiring owner’s job with debt attached.
- How to choose an exit horizon or write a clear acquisition thesis.
Your move this week: Write down when you want the option to step away. If you’re considering an acquisition, name the industry, business size, and why you’d be the right operator.
