Common Questions
The real questions business owners are asking us — answered directly.
My Kids Don't Want the Business
Most owners assume their children will take over. When that doesn't happen, it can feel like everything you built has nowhere to go. It doesn't have to close or go to a stranger who plans to flip it — we take it over and run it, and you get paid from it, without asking your kids to run a business they never wanted.
My Employees Can't Afford to Buy It
Your employees may be loyal and capable, but rarely have the capital for a buyout. We can step in as the buyer while keeping your team in place — they keep their jobs, and you get paid.
I Don't Want to Sell to Private Equity
Private equity firms typically buy to grow fast and resell within a few years. If that's not what you want for the business you built, we're a different kind of buyer — one that plans to run it, not flip it.
I Want Monthly Income, Not a Lump Sum
A lump sum sale means a large, immediate tax bill and the pressure to invest wisely all at once. Monthly income from your own business, spread over time, is often the steadier and more tax-efficient path.
I Can't Find a Buyer for My Business
Most small businesses never actually sell through a broker — the process is slower and harder than most owners expect. We work directly with you, without listing your business publicly or waiting on bank financing to fall through.
What If the Business Slows Down After I Leave?
It's the first question every owner asks about seller financing — and a fair one. Our incentives are aligned with yours, since we're the ones running the business afterward.
How Long Does This Process Take?
Typically 2–6 months from your first conversation to your first monthly payment, depending on how much transition time your business needs.
