In this episode, Caleb sits down with Nick Bartolo, founder of Essential Partners, to discuss what business owners need to consider when thinking about selling their company.

Nick breaks down:

• The decision to sell and conducting a "possible path analysis" — evaluating revenue, EBITDA, and overall business valuation.
• Thinking beyond the sale price — retirement planning, ensuring your investments can support your lifestyle, and avoiding poor tax advice.

He also covers:

• Optimizing growth, margins, and return on capital
• Building a business that is sustainable and not dependent on the owner
• Understanding the broader industry landscape
• The importance of strong books, clean financial records, and a reliable CPA
• Strategic tax planning, including starting a Roth IRA

This episode is packed with practical insights for any contractor or entrepreneur planning long-term growth, exit strategy, and financial freedom.
