Business Exit Strategy: The Unplanned Reality

Описание: What does it really take to build a startup around buying and selling small businesses?

In this episode of Inner Edison Podcast, Ed Parcaut talks with Evan Poling, founder of BizRetire, about the messy reality of entrepreneurship, marketplace businesses, and trying to fix a broken process.

Public descriptions of BizRetire say the platform is designed to connect business buyers and sellers directly, without the traditional middleman-heavy experience, and position it as a marketplace focused on business-for-sale-by-owner style connections.

Public profiles also describe Evan as having a background in compliance and financial-crimes investigation, which gave him a close look at how businesses operate and helped shape the BizRetire concept.

In this episode:
Why Evan built BizRetire
The friction of dealing with traditional business brokers
Why buying a business can be less risky than starting one
Why so many businesses fail to sell
The challenge of building a two-sided marketplace
What Evan wishes he knew before launching
Website delays, outsourcing, pricing, and startup execution
Why founders need to think about exit strategy earlier

If you are building a business, thinking about buying one, or just want a more honest look at startup life, this episode is worth your time.
