THE DEAL BOARD

Get weekly lessons and tips for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs.

The Deal Board is a place to learn about the best way to sell a business or purchase a business across a wide variety of industries. When you decide to buy or sell a business, few people would really know what is involved and it can be difficult to know who you can trust when you begin to seek advice. Our goal is to help our podcast listeners understand the process of buying and selling a business through conversations with successful entrepreneurs who have learned the ins and outs of the process as part of their own business ownership endeavors. Our podcast guests will share their experiences, lessons learned, tips, insider knowledge, and much more with our business podcast audience. Our hope is that our weekly podcast guests will make your journey as an entrepreneur easier and a more enriching experience. If you know someone who could benefit from a better understanding of what is involved when buying or selling a business, invite them to listen to our weekly business podcast here at The Deal Board. We can all learn from one another’s business experiences!

Ken Abbott

I have been fortunate to work in several different business genres. I have owned my own companies in the areas of development, finance, Real Estate, consulting, and advertising. I have written business plans, licensed, and consulted for countless companies.

In my past, I have increased market share of a finance company by 300%, developed successful large mixed-use projects, underwritten loans and financials, re-organized company structures, introduced company changing processes, and led companies on the brink of failure to success. I have been an enthusiastic change agent, assisted in software development, and have learned from the many challenges thrown my way.

Owning a business is not easy and the choices can be tough to navigate. Speaking as someone who has run my own business and experienced the highs and lows that come with it, I have a deep understanding of what it takes and how hard some decisions can be.

My experience has allowed me to understand the needs and wants of individuals and their life goals. It reinforces in me that really seeing a person’s goals, and desires, is not only rewarding, but good business. I am here to help.

My experience includes operating my own companies, investment strategy, business turn-around, Real Estate, development, finance, production, project mgt., compliance, and consulting. Having a license since 1996, I enjoy combining Transworld’s extensive network with my experience to help clients. I love to meet people, learn their unique stories, and help them achieve their goals.
