In this episode of Monkey Business Radio, Chris and Dennis dig into one of the most overlooked assets in small business—intellectual property (IP). From brand reputation and trade secrets to goodwill and systems, your IP might just be the most valuable line on your balance sheet.
They share real stories—like how AGM built its IP from scratch, why owning vs. leasing real estate changes everything, and how iconic brands like Jordan’s Furniture and Ken’s Steakhouse show the power of strong branding.
Whether you’re a home service operator or aspiring franchisee, this episode will change how you look at your business value.
