What is your flooring business really worth—and how do you position it to sell for maximum value?

In this episode, Jerry sits down with Chase Busenbark of First Choice Business Brokers to break down the realities of buying and selling a flooring business. From EBITDA multiples and add-backs to asset vs. stock sales, seller financing, and SBA loans, Chase explains what drives valuation—and what quietly kills deals.

They discuss:

  • Why you should run your business like you’re selling it tomorrow
  • The difference between selling a job vs. selling a business
  • How banks evaluate deals (and why overpriced businesses don’t get financed)
  • Common mistakes flooring dealers make before going to market
  • What buyers should look for in financials and cash flow
  • How lease rates, owner involvement, and clean books impact value

Whether you’re planning to exit in five years or actively looking to buy, this episode gives you a practical roadmap to navigate the process with clarity and confidence.
