Executing the Ideal Transaction
When Selling Your Business
Digital Download
If you are an entrepreneur who has already made the difficult and life-changing decision to sell or exit your business, this book is for you. The decision to transition your company to the next phase has undoubtedly been made after much reflection and, more than likely, in consultation with friends and family — it’s your baby, after all. And while you may be at peace with the decision, the process of where you go from here is probably the source of a great level of anxiety.
The purpose of this book is to put you, the entrepreneur, in a position to execute what we refer to as the “Ideal Transaction” — to be able to sit down at the negotiation table, to play the hand you’ve been dealt and to ensure that it is a winning hand. We will define what that means throughout, but executing the Ideal Transaction leaves the entrepreneur in the best position post-transaction.

Financial Models vs. Reality: Is Your Wealth Strategy Built to Last?
You’ve spent years earning and growing your wealth, but will your wealth strategy stand the test of time?

Quarterly Outlook: The Space Between
Being in the space between should feel somewhat familiar to investors, as we experienced a space between back in 2022. Uncertainty and market volatility was pronounced that year, as investors debated how a rapid rise in Fed interest rates and the associated weakening in sentiment/soft data would weigh on real economic activity. Forecasters slashed estimates for U.S. GDP and S&P 500 EPS growth, broadly expecting a recession to be the end result of that space between, while equities experienced a bear market in anticipation of this weaker growth.

April Market Volatility Update
We came into 2025 expecting a pickup in market volatility. It has not taken long for those expectations to be met, and then some. As we feared it would, the combination of optimistic businesses and consumers with equity and credit markets priced for perfection proved to be combustible when policy uncertainty was added to the mix.
Leveraging Uncertainty to Provide Stability
With uncertainty on the rise and market sentiment faltering, investors may be starting to second-guess their portfolio risk to avoid future haymakers that equity markets may throw. Portfolio strategies that provide investors with a degree of downside protection against equity loss and defined return outcomes can be a powerful tool to keep otherwise fearful investors aligned with (their financial) plan.
