Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), as I interview Clint Fiore (https://x.com/ClintFiore). Clint, the founder of Bison Business and the newly launched Dealonomy, brings immense experience from over 500 M&A deals, totaling over $100 million in enterprise value.

We unpack the crucial red flags he looks for when sellers approach him, from their motive to sell to how their financials might be impacted by aggressive tax avoidance strategies. Clint explains why prioritizing tax deductions can actually be "stepping over dollars to pick up dimes" when selling your business.

We also dive into the red flags to watch out for in buyers, emphasizing the importance of financial wherewithal, relevant experience, and a strong deal team. A significant part of our chat focuses on Dealonomy, Clint's innovative platform that aims to revolutionize the traditional brokerage model by being buyer-centric, offering services free for sellers with guaranteed offers, and providing buyers a membership model with a first mover advantage.
