Why 95% of Business Owners Leave Millions on the Table When They Sell with Matt Uhler

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book What if you've been building your business wrong this entire time - not in how you operate it, but in how you're preparing to eventually sell it? In this episode of the Unemployable Podcast, Jeff Dudan sits down with Matt Uhler, a 28-year veteran business broker, entrepreneur, investor in 20+ small businesses, and host of the What's Your Deal podcast. Matt has completed 800+ transactions, analyzed 3,000 businesses, and participated in deals totaling over $350 million in combined value. Matt breaks down exactly why 95% of business owners are unprepared when they go to sell - and how to fix that starting today. You'll learn how seller's discretionary earnings (SDE) are calculated, what a business broker actually does from listing to close, why concentration risk can instantly destroy a business acquisition, and how Matt built what he calls a "mutual fund of small businesses" to create 20+ income streams not tied to his daily activity.
