Inside the Business Exit | Ep

In this episode of the Know Your Why Podcast, host Dr. Jason Balara sits down with Gregory Kovsky, president and CEO of International Business Associates, to unpack the world of business brokerage and what it really takes to navigate successful business transactions. Gregory shares how his path into entrepreneurship and business ownership was shaped by his father’s career shift, ultimately leading him into the highly nuanced space of business valuation and selling businesses. Drawing from decades of experience, he explains why business brokerage sits at the intersection of finance, law, psychology, and mentorship, and why understanding the financial implications of a sale is just as important as understanding the people involved. The conversation dives into industry trends within veterinary medicine, highlighting the growing consolidation of practices, the rise of female ownership, and the overlooked opportunities that still exist in rural markets. Throughout the discussion, Gregory emphasizes that selling a business is rarely just a transaction—it’s an emotional process that requires clarity, education, and trust.
