In this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, Galen Hair sits down with Jon Buehler, founder of Buehler Business Brokers, to break down the realities of valuation, risk, transferability, and how to plan for a successful exit, whether or not you want to sell in 3 years or 30.

Jon has worked on deals ranging from small home-service companies to $100M+ transactions.

Highlights

• Why most owners wildly overestimate or underestimate their business
• How buyers actually evaluate value
• The hidden risks that kill deals (owner dependency, customer concentration, bad financials)
• When you should start exit planning
• How to know if now is the right time to sell
• Why your identity might be the biggest obstacle to exiting
• How to fix your business so it's worth more, even if you're not ready to sell
