Workshop 2 is live - Structuring the Deal
Structuring the Deal - Employee/Shareholder buy-ins and exits - Vendor finance realities - Investment vehicles - Risk vs Reward with leverage, including no-money down deals Features my personal case studies where: I launched an ineffective employee shareholder program, but learned how to do it right I left a business that the owner wanted me to take over, and why I borrowed $700,000 interest-free without a contract, just one email and a spreadsheet I use entities like trusts and companies to protect myself and get tax-efficient I learned the hard way what is the single most important document for a shareholder … and more. Ownership without recklessness. Includes: The Ownership Entry Map, A clear breakdown of legitimate pathways into ownership. We've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.
