Business Valuation... Real Talk

Each episode of the Business Valuation Real Talk podcast will cover an aspect of the business valuation world from mergers and acquisitions to financing, structuring a family limited partnership through estate planning, practice management and a variety of other relevant topics. The conversations with subject matter experts will provide in-depth discussions, looking at past case studies to provide some context. Mostly, the aim here is to educate the business community in business valuation but there is something here for even the most battle-hardened investment bankers, private bankers, attorneys, accountants, and M&A experts. Each episode features a different industry expert or practitioner, with a new episode added once a month.
