In this episode of Poised for Exit, Jaryd Krause, founder of Buying Online Businesses, shares how buying an existing business can open up new opportunities for entrepreneurs, whether they’re looking for a new venture or a faster way to grow a business they already own.

Jaryd’s own path into business ownership started with a simple realization: instead of building something from scratch, why not buy a business that was already working? He shares how that decision led him to buy several online businesses and eventually help other entrepreneurs do the same. Along the way, he breaks down how buyers can narrow their search, understand what they can afford, and find a business that actually fits their goals and strengths.

The conversation also gets into one of the biggest challenges for buyers: knowing whether a promising opportunity is really as good as it looks. Jaryd shares what to look for during due diligence, why getting emotionally attached to a deal can cloud your judgment, and how existing business owners can use acquisitions to add new capabilities, revenue streams, and growth opportunities.
