I need more funding. The number one request I get.

Imagine if you’re a growing business with a great idea and as you’re scaling up you run into the chicken and the egg problem.?

You think to yourself, “I need an investor to get the cash I need to do the next big step X.”

However, is bringing in an outside group the right idea to grow your business? Usually, it is not.

The three things I spend the most time on with my business partners are:

1. Fixing holes in the leaky bucket and selling first. (generating internal cash).
2. Looking for great companies to merge with and grow. (adding more value).
3. Planning capital events to sell and exit the company. (generating external cash)?

With the right acquisition plan, you are in control and can grow your business at whatever rate you want without giving up control of your company to outside investors.

If you want help discovering how to get your business to a place where it is ready to sell, we should talk.

Here’s where to start…

1. Contact me.

2. Make a plan.

3. Exit happy.
