Business Sales & Acquisitions Podcast
Presented by: The Turn Business Brokers
Business Sales & Acquisitions is the straight-talk podcast for owners thinking about selling a business, buyers looking to acquire one, and advisors who want to understand how real deals get done.
This isn’t theory and it’s not motivational fluff. Each episode breaks down the real mechanics behind buying and selling businesses: valuations, deal structure, negotiation dynamics, due diligence, broker strategy, and the financial realities most people only discover mid-transaction.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- What your business is actually worth (not what you hope it’s worth)
- How buyers evaluate risk, cash flow, and growth
- What makes a business sellable vs. unsellable
- How to prepare years in advance for a strong exit
- How acquisitions really work from LOI to closing
- Where deals fall apart — and how to avoid it
You’ll find practical answers here.
Episodes feature a mix of case studies, deal breakdowns, and conversations with owners, buyers, and professionals in the M&A ecosystem. The goal is simple: give you clear insight into how transactions happen in the real world so you can make smarter decisions when your time comes.
Whether you’re planning an exit in 12 months or 10 years, actively looking to buy, or just want a clearer lens on the market, this podcast is designed to help you approach business sales and acquisitions with strategy, realism, and confidence.
If you’re serious about buying or selling a business, you’re in the right place.
