Episode #395: How to Give Up Equity and Maintain Control of Your Business Part 4

Should you sell your business or pass it down to your kids?

On today’s episode, host Roland Frasier talks about Cap Table optimization and why business owners should consider selling the business instead of transferring it over to their kids. 

Sooner or later, a business owner must exit the business. Some choose to sell the business, and others choose to keep it in the family. Although keeping it in the family may seem like a smart move, in nearly all cases, it’s actually a huge mistake. Your kids are not inspired by the business as you are and a successful exit might change your life and that of your kids in ways you could never imagine. 

Listen in to discover the drawbacks of transferring your business over to your kids and how you can maintain control of your company without owning majority shares.

  • What is Cap Table optimization?
  • How to maintain control of your company without owning majority shares

  • Understanding EBITDA and why it’s such a big deal
