Show Notes

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.
