IN both buying and selling businesses there are hurdles that can seem insurmountable. These hurdles regardless of where they come from, either real or imagined, can delay, stall or completely derail a person from continuing on the path to business succession and wealth preservation (or creation for that matter). What are some of the hurdles you have been through or saw others struggle with?

A member just shared something that hit me hard. His uncle owned a profitable business for 40 years. Made plenty of money. No succession plan in place. So he closed the doors. Not because the business was failing. Not because there were no buyers. Because he thought it would be too difficult to sell. That's the owner I'm trying to reach - at least 2 years before they make that decision. Because here's what most Main Street owners don't know: You don't need an all-cash buyer Seller financing opens up 10x more qualified buyers! Transitioning doesn't mean losing everything you built- we can help you retire with annuity like payments. There's a path from ownership to the next chapter of your life Question for the group: Do you know a business owner who's thinking about closing because they don't know how to transition? Or who's already closed because they thought selling was too complicated? Drop their story below. Let's figure out how to reach these owners before they close the doors on businesses that could (and should) continue.
