Buying a Business When the Owner Passes Away: What You Need to Know About Probate & Deal Structuring

Currently working on a deal were this is the scenario (UK). When a business owner dies, their shares don’t automatically change hands — they become part of the estate and fall under probate. That can delay deals, create uncertainty, and even open the door for competitors. But with the right structuring — conditional SPAs, options, escrow, or interim management agreements — it’s possible to lock in a deal, protect value, and even step into operational control before probate is granted. Understanding these mechanics can make the difference between losing an opportunity and securing a great acquisition on favourable terms. Here are some notes.

Most Investors Focus on Assets… But Forget About Cash Flow Businesses 💼

I talk to a lot of people who are into real estate, crypto, or stocks. And they’re all chasing the same thing → cash flow. But here’s the truth: 📉 Assets go up and down. 📉 Markets fluctuate. 📈 But a well-built online store, once it’s running, produces consistent, predictable income. I recently designed a $7,000 business model that: - Launches in weeks, not years. - Doesn’t require warehouses or inventory. - Can realistically produce $5k–$10k/month profit within a year. That type of monthly cash flow is more than enough to: ✔️ Cover mortgage payments ✔️ Fund a luxury lifestyle ✔️ Reinvest into real estate or other assets Most people underestimate eCommerce because they only see it as “online shopping.” In reality, it’s one of the fastest ways to build capital for big wealth moves. 👉 Question: If you had a side-business generating $10k/month profit, what would you do with it first — buy property, invest more, or spend it on lifestyle?
