John Warrillow - The Art of Selling Your Business
Best selling author John Warrillow joined me on Ditching Hourly to talk about what to do when you want to sell a SaaS.
It’s probably not a situation you’re in at the moment, but if you’re even thinking about starting a SaaS, his new book The Art of Selling Your Business: Winning Strategies & Secret Hacks for Exiting on Top is well worth the investment.
Talking Points
- Why buyers might pay a much higher multiple than normal for a SaaS
- The pros and cons of annual vs monthly subscription models
- How to know when to sell your SaaS
- What to do before you sell your SaaS
- Business brokers vs M&A professionals
- What to say when a potential buyer asks, “If your SaaS is so great, why are you selling it?”
- How to avoid “golden handcuffs” if hanging around is not for you
