In this episode of The Struggling Entrepreneur, we deliver an interview with Ray Ortega, who is known as The Podcast Helper with his venture called The Podcasters’ Studio.

He has an interesting background that has led him to back himself into being a Podcast consultant and part-time entrepreneur. As a creative, he focuses his attention to the content of his new media and podcasting. But his real love is to generate another business that will deliver a high-tech and niche-oriented digital magazine (see http://www.webpromag.com for some basic information and blueprint-like structure).

157- Valuing your company for sale- from Smart Bear

July 13th, 2011

[display_podcast]

In this episode of The Struggling Entrepreneur, we deliver to you the audio narration of a blog post from Smart Bear. The title is:

How to value your company for sale.

Smart Bear blog post

 This was originally a series of 2 blog posts: one from 20 June 2011 and the other from 27 June 2011.

The discussion centers around the seller’s and the buyer’s perspective, asking the question: what is the NUMBER that will make you feel comfortable and make the buyer agree to acquire your firm?

Although this is mainly about a software development startup that was sold, the major themes deal with just about any entrepreneur that may get the opportunity to sell the business.
