    The Silver Tsunami: Why So Many Small Businesses Are for Sale Right Now

    What happens when a generation of business owners is ready to retire, all at once? In Episode 7 of Cashing Out with VTG, Vince Gebbia, live on 103.9 LI News Radio with Olivia Star, brings the energy (two espressos will do that) as the crew talks about the "silver tsunami" of baby boomer owners getting ready to sell, and why America is built on small business. Vince breaks down the many ways to get involved with VTG: becoming a referral partner, joining the six-month mentorship program, or joining the VTG Skool community for weekly webinars and AI training. Plus, a franchise spotlight on Pasta Time, and a rundown of what's on the market right now: a New York cannabis manufacturer, a Hamptons HVAC company with recurring membership revenue, car washes, auto body shops, self-storage, delis and more, including a Suffolk County auto body shop Vince just sold. And to close the show, big news: an accepted offer on a boutique hotel on the North Fork, in an area where new hotels can't be built. Whether you're thinking about selling, looking to buy, or want to earn by referring a deal, this episode shows how much opportunity is out there right now. 🙏 Thank you to our sponsors: WebGrowth.io and Big Cat Bikes. 💡 Want a free valuation?

    Why Business Brokers Should Sell the Real Estate Too + A $20M Listing Week

    What happens when your business broker can also sell the building your business sits on? In Episode 6 of Cashing Out with VTG, Vince Gebbia — live on 103.9 LI News Radio with Olivia Star — is joined by John Taylor of Apex Advisors at HedgeStone, who explains what it means to be a "commercial specialist": a business broker who also sells commercial real estate, keeping the whole deal under one roof so sellers get top dollar for both. John also shares how pricing a Long Beach retail building realistically led to an all-cash offer in two days and a closing in 40 days. Plus, entrepreneur Mike McGowan of Skyline Solutions Management Group calls in to talk about the rise of storage valet services, and Vince runs through a packed list of businesses from the show, including a pickleball complex in Riverhead, an HVAC company and a plumbing company in the Hamptons, a self-storage facility in Shelton, CT, a Long Island masonry business, laundromats, car washes, and more, wrapping up what he calls a $20 million listing week. Whether you're thinking about selling a business with real estate attached, looking for an "AI-resistant" business to buy, or curious how deals really get priced and closed, this episode is for you. 🙏 Thank you to our sponsors: WebGrowth.io and Big Cat Bikes. 💡 Want a free valuation?

    He Thought His Business Was Worth $8M. Here's Why It's Worth More.

    What if your business is worth millions more than you think? In Episode 5 of Cashing Out with VTG, Vince Gebbia and Steven Bezmen — live on 103.9 LI News Radio with Olivia Star — share the story of an HVAC company owner who thought his business was worth $8 million, and why it's realistically worth $13M+. They break down how seller financing can get owners a higher multiple, how they underwrote a $4M medical building with real comps, and why every deal they handle stays 100% confidential. Plus: lessons from their mentorship session with retail and real estate leader Richard Baker (Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor), Steven's car wash closing in Melbourne, FL, Vince's latest investments in a car wash and a self-storage facility, and this week's listings — from a self-storage development on Sunrise Highway to an auto salvage business and a liquor store with real estate in Selden. Whether you're an owner wondering what your business is worth, a second-career buyer ready for ownership, or someone who knows a deal and wants to earn a referral fee, this episode shows how real deals get done. 🙏 Thank you to our sponsors: WebGrowth.io and Big Cat Bikes. 💡 Want a free valuation?

    From Wall Street to a $30M Car Wash Deal in One Month

    How does a guy go from Wall Street to landing a $30 million deal in his first month? In Episode 3 of Cashing Out with VTG, Vince Gebbia and Steve Bezman — live on 103.9 LI News Radio with Olivia Star — sit down with new team member Will, who shares how he went from a Wall Street background to landing a $30 million, 14-location car wash portfolio in his first month through HedgeStone's mentorship program. Plus, special guest Jason Hartman, senior advisor at HedgeStone Group, decodes the real language of buying and selling businesses — EBITDA, SDE, NDAs, LOIs, and the all-important "add-backs" that can dramatically increase what your business is worth. The crew breaks down the difference between revenue and value (why doing $2M a year doesn't mean your business is worth $2M), how add-backs like owner salary and personal expenses boost your sale price, and how VTG protects your confidentiality so you're not fielding "window shoppers" at your door. There's also a live referral challenge to find the next owner of a Suffolk County burger spot — doing $600K/year, asking just $195K with seller financing (and yes, VTG pays referral fees). Whether you're looking to sell, buy, invest, or break into business brokerage yourself, this episode is packed with real insight. 💡 Want a free valuation?

    What's Your Business Really Worth? The Truth About Valuations & Exits

    If someone offered to buy your business tomorrow, would you know what it's worth? In Episode 2 of Cashing Out with VTG, Vince Gebbia and Steve Bezmen — live on 103.9 with Olivia Star — break down how businesses actually get valued and what separates a smooth, profitable exit from a deal that falls apart. They dig into what really drives valuation (hint: it's cash flow, not emotion), why clean books and strong management multiply your sale price, and the common mistakes that cost owners money — from sloppy financials to telling employees too early. Plus: how to handle a business and the real estate it sits on, sale-leaseback strategies, keeping the property while cashing out the business, and why franchises are one of the clearest paths to building wealth. Whether you're a baby boomer ready to retire, a founder thinking about your exit, or a buyer looking for your next opportunity, this episode is your roadmap to unlocking what your business is really worth. 💡 Want a free valuation?

    From Candy Sales to Commercial Real Estate — Meet Vincent Gebbia & Steven Bezmen

    In the debut episode of Cashing Out with VTG, hosts Vincent Gebbia and Steven Bezmen sit down with Olivia Star, live on 103.9, to talk about building, buying, and selling businesses. Vince traces his path from selling candy out of a Tommy Hilfiger bag in seventh grade to becoming President of HedgeStone Commercial Realty and the HedgeStone Franchise Division, founder of VTG Business Advisory (Value the Goals), and owner of Big Cat Electric Bikes. Along the way, he and Steve — a top broker licensed in New York and Florida — break down what a business broker actually does, how they valued a local HVAC company at $8M, and the story behind their $2.4M sale of Finley's in Huntington. The conversation digs into how commercial real estate differs from residential, why the SBA loves franchises, how VTG helps owners unlock the value of their business, and what it takes to franchise and scale a proven concept. Whether you're looking to buy a business, sell one, invest in commercial real estate, or explore franchising, this episode is your inside look at how deals really get done. Want a free valuation?
