Buying a business is NOT like buying real estate.In real estate, your relationship with the seller ends at the closing table.In business acquisitions? The relationship is everything.In this episode of The 7-Minute Takeover, we break down the misconception that the seller relationship doesn’t matter in ETA, and show why trust, rapport, and communication are the backbone of a successful transaction.Here’s what we unpack:✔️ Why business acquisitions are deeply personal✔️ How the seller relationship impacts training, transition, and post-close success✔️ Why misunderstandings blow up deals when there’s no trust✔️ The invisible “life of the relationship” that continues after closing✔️ How to build rapport BEFORE and AFTER the LOI✔️ How brokers fit into the communication dynamic✔️ What to actually do during diligence (cadence, calls, expectations)Deals fail because relationships break down.If you’re buying a business, you can’t just analyze the P&L. You need to build trust with the person who built the business.___________________________________________________________________________Get the tools, listings, and support you need to buy a business at www.villagewellth.com And don’t forget:👍 Like🔔 Subscribe👉 Follow us on our socials for more acquisition insightsWant more than just content?
