Business Pulse by XKOVA

In this episode of the Business Pulse podcast, host Candice Jarrett (co-founder of the tech-startup XKOVA) interviews Evan Poling, founder of BizRetire, an innovative online platform that transforms the way businesses are bought and sold. Unlike traditional methods that involve business brokers and hefty commissions, BizRetire connects buyers and sellers directly, requiring buyers to pay for access to listings, which helps filter out non-serious inquiries. Evan shares insights into the traditional business selling process, his personal experiences, and the challenges faced in the marketplace. He emphasizes the importance of legacy for business owners and the human element in transactions, while also discussing the marketing strategies and cost structure of BizRetire. The conversation highlights the appeal of buying established businesses and offers valuable advice for potential buyers.Support the showWant to connect with Candice?
