    IP Valuation: Decoding the Value of Intellectual Property

    Andy and Jessica take a break from The Deal Board Podcast as Calvin Tampubolon and Jonathan Cheung step in as hosts. This week, they speak to Venndigm cofounder Oommen Thomas about the growing importance of intellectual property valuations and specifically, the role of IP valuations in mergers and acquisitions. After defining IP valuation, explaining why it matters, and detailing its role in M&As, Oommen walks us through his approach to IP valuation in M&A transactions. Then, we learn where IP valuations sit in the due diligence process, how valuations are affected by market conditions, common pitfalls to avoid, and how to improve one’s IP value before a merger or acquisition. To end, Oommen implores listeners always to remember the power of perception in big money deals.   Listing of the Week:   Eli Tatem (Western Carolinas) is selling a profitable trucking company with explosive growth potential of over $14 million in revenue annually!

    Confidentiality: When To Tell Your Employees You Sold

    Andy and Jessica welcome you to another episode of The Deal Board Podcast. This week, they discuss the complicated issue of confidentiality during the sales process and when to tell your employees that you’re selling the company. Most owners want to do right by their employees when they decide to sell, which is why they might feel compelled to be transparent and include their workers in the selling process. Today they get into why you are actually doing your employees a disservice if you tell them that you’re selling, the upheaval this can cause, and what you should do instead. They also share several war stories of sales that went awry after owners told their employees they were selling, including a drop in value that exceeded three million dollars. Don’t miss this essential conversation on confidentiality, transparency, and how to navigate the sales process! Listing of the Week: Art Warsoff is selling a prominent full-service roofing business in Utah. The business is listed for $1,649,000 and the down payment is $1,484,000. Last year it earned over $600,000 in SDE, and we’re excited to see what next year will bring. The company has been established for over 40 years. Practically everyone in Utah has heard of them, which means the company has done some excellent branding. They also have a full team of people that can handle all sorts of services. For more information call Art at (385) 342-3883 or email him at awarsoff@tworld.com Deal of the Week: Pat Bass tells us how he took a 20-year-old pharmacy to market and successfully procured a qualified buyer.

Don't tell them now. It will lead to people leaving, and we've seen it [happen], unfortunately.” — @acags [0:08:49] “I don't know why it happens like this, but anybody that tells their employees before the sale causes major disruption. – [But] I have never seen a major disruption or a mass exodus once the deal has already been done.” — @acags [0:10:54]
