Andy Cagnetta - How Business Brokers See the M&A World - Ep.131

<p>My guest on this episode is Andy Cagnetta. Andy is the CEO of Transworld Business Advisors, one of the largest business brokers in the country. The typical guest on Think Like an Owner is an owner operator often running a business they acquired, although not always. And therefore, the buyer&#39;s side of a transaction is where we have spent the most time as a podcast. I wanted to hear the other side and learn more about a broker&#39;s perspective in the small business and search world. What do they care about? What do buyers do that is counterproductive, and how could they more effectively build relationships? We go over questions like this, along with what a good business broker looks like, why some listings never sell, how to impress sellers and brokers as a buyer, the perception of search funds, and how Andy himself is an acquisition entrepreneur who acquired Transworld and became CEO.</p><p>Listen weekly and follow the show on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO?si=bfa67fb76c654755" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5yZWRjaXJjbGUuY29tLzI1ODM4YjdlLTdlZTgtNGZjMC05ZjU0LTViNjJkZDNmZTBjNg" rel="nofollow">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Breaker</a>, and <a href="https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-An-Owner-p1180625/" rel="nofollow">TuneIn</a>.</p><p><strong><u>Links:</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/acagnetta/" rel="nofollow">Andy on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tworld.com/" rel="nofollow">Transworld Business Advisors</a></p><p><a href="https://www.bizbuysell.com/" rel="nofollow">BizBuySell.com</a></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Closing-Deal-Business-Avoiding-Dispelling/dp/B09PM4TH9F/ref=tmm_pap_swatch
