I'm joined by entrepreneur and author Gautam Pardhy, whose new book, Don't Buy That Business, challenges many of the assumptions buyers make during the acquisition process.
We discuss his practical Five Gates framework for evaluating business opportunities, why many buyers focus on the wrong criteria, and how to identify hidden risks before moving forward.
Whether you're searching for your first acquisition or already evaluating deals, this conversation is packed with practical advice on due diligence, assessing business quality, seller dependence, cash flow, and avoiding the expensive mistakes that derail many acquisitions.

Do you know what your business is actually worth to a buyer, or just what it’s worth to you? On this episode of the Vital Wealth Strategies Podcast, host Patrick Lonergan welcomes back David C. Barnett, one of the show’s very first guests, to unpack one of the most important questions every entrepreneur eventually faces: “What is my business worth?” David is a business consultant, author, and equipment appraiser who has sold 36 businesses as a broker, spent years as a banker, and has advised on more than a thousand deals. In his new book, Business and Asset Values, he explains why business valuation is never a single number but a conclusion tied to a decision, and why owners, buyers, lenders, and advisors can all arrive at different, defensible answers for the same company.
