About This Podcast

Hosted by Marla DiCarlo, this show discusses the ins and outs of selling and buying businesses and building value for the future. We toss around the cliché that small business owners put tons of blood, sweat, and tears into their businesses. This is true. Too often, small business owners leave money on the table. They don't take advantage of negotiation because they don't know how to improve or can't determine the right way to market themselves.Don’t have a sellable company? That is the reason we’re here! Welcome to the Raincatcher podcast. There's no such thing as an ugly baby, but there is such a thing as an ugly company! Creating a great business doesn’t equate to creating a sellable business. As a small business owner, you invest a significant portion of your personal life into growing your business, so when it comes time to sell your company, it can feel strange and unsettling, similar to sending your child off to college.
