On this episode of The Inspectations Podcast, Justin Starbird welcomes Bob Spurlock, founder of The Spurlock Group and Cerveza Bros, for an insightful conversation on what it really takes to prepare a business for sale in today’s market.
With over 25 years of experience in mergers and acquisitions, Bob shares what buyers are prioritizing right now, from strong financial records to scalable operations, and why valuation is often a reality check for business owners. They also explore how rising interest rates and shifting economic conditions are reshaping the M&A landscape, and why building a sellable business starts long before an owner decides to exit.
Beyond his work in M&A, Bob discusses his passion for giving back through the MCHS Alumni and Friends Scholarship Foundation and his growing lifestyle brand, Cerveza Bros, both of which reflect his belief that success is best measured by its impact.
