Season 3 Episode 20: 4 Green Flags That Make a Business Worth Buying
Episode 20
Friday, 28 August, 2026
What separates a business that's actually worth buying from one that just looks good on paper? In the Season 3 finale of The Dickie and Donny Show, business coaches Dickie and Donny break down the four green flags they look for before buying, selling, or growing a business built to last. This episode covers what due diligence often misses, the signals that go beyond quality of earnings and point to a business with real longevity, legacy, and staying power. They start with purpose, explaining why a written business plan matters more than a founder's memory of "how it all started." From there they move into people, unpacking why long tenure among early employees is one of the strongest indicators of a healthy culture. Then it's process, where documentation living in one clear system beats scattered files across five platforms. Finally, profit, and why a business that can track, measure, and grow its cash flow is a business built to scale, not just survive. ✅ Why a written business plan is a green flag buyers look for ✅ How employee tenure reveals the true health of a business ✅ Why documentation in one place signals a business ready to transfer ✅ How tracked, measurable cash flow shows a business can actually grow Whether you're planning to buy, sell, or simply build a business with lasting value, this episode gives you a clear framework to evaluate where you stand.
