"Selling & Buying Businesses Properly" with Jim Moazez

On this episode of The Orange County Power Players Podcast, host Danny Flores sits down with Jim Moazez, a seasoned business broker with decades of experience in buying and selling businesses across all 50 states. Jim is a certified business broker and a member of the California Association of Business Brokers, and he has successfully sold hundreds of businesses.

Jim shares valuable insights into what makes a business sellable, the key factors buyers look for, and how to structure deals for the best possible outcome. He also sheds light on financing options like SBA loans, owner financing, and earnouts, and explains why the structure of a deal is often more important than the price.

They also discuss:

• The best types of businesses to buy and why it depends on the buyer’s passion and skills.
• The current market trends, including the surge of baby boomer-owned businesses hitting the market.
• The role of private equity and institutional buyers in today’s business sales.
• How roll-ups work and why some industries, like auto body shops and self-storage, are prime for consolidation.
• Why Jim is passionate about helping veterans and first responders buy businesses—even offering to help with their down payments.
