Defenders of Business Value

Ed Mysogland•www.defendersofbusinessvalue.com

The Defenders of Business Value Podcast combines over 30 years of valuation and exit planning expertise working with business owners. Ed Mysogland has a mission and vision to help business owners understand the value of their business. Most of the small business owner's net worth is locked in the company, and to unlock it, a business owner has to sell it. Unfortunately, the odds are against business owners that they won't be able to sell their companies because they don't know what creates a saleable asset. Ed interviews experts who help business owners prepare, build, preserve, and one-day transfer value with the sale of the business.

EP 29: Do You Need a Virtual CFO?

In this episode, Ed had an opportunity with KC Chohan. KC is with Together CFO - a virtual CFO service. Business advisors, like Ed, run into a lot of financial statements where the financial conditions are abysmal. And when they aren’t able to track expenses and income, it impairs value.
