**Wake Up, Business Owners!** According to Forbes the average small business loan amount is $663,000. Are you really ready to personally guarantee a loan of that size for your business? It's time to be smarter with your financing! Instead of risking your personal assets, consider corporate funding through your business's EIN. This approach not only mitigates risk but also gives you access to cheaper money with lower interest rates. It's time to rethink your strategy. Make the smart move for your business and your future. Let's discuss how you can leverage corporate funding effectively. #WakeUpCall #BusinessSmart #CorporateFunding #SmallBusinessLoans #FinancialStrategy

Shortcuts don't work. Change of business ownership financed transactions, backed by the SBA, involve 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀.  Both sides of the transaction. People with integrity and complete transparency.  People who recognize they must take ownership and commit to the path of success. Whether you're a buyer or a seller... ...shortcuts will bite you in the a$$. I mean, we get it.  There's a temptation to take the easy way. Sellers seek fast cash. Buyers seek an easy loan.  But cutting corners leads to a lack of trust, and that's not a great way to start this process. Stop the market madness.  You're the architect of your own turmoil. From beginning to the end... ...commitment from both parties is critical. Take the time, prepare, and put in the effort. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝟵𝟬%> 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁. Why do you keep asking for more? What about you?  Commit to the process.  You'll be pleasantly surprised at how successful and painless the transaction can be 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁.  Forge ahead with purpose; the path of least resistance is often the road to ruin. #SBA #BusinessSellers #BusinessBuyers #BusinessBrokers  #Entrepreneurship

Lets talk exit planning: As a whole generation of business owners approaches retirement, there's a concerning trend emerging – many are opting to shut their doors instead of selling them. However, this decision could mean leaving significant value on the table. Why? Because they often lack insight into what their company is truly worth - Exit planning is crucial for small to midsize business owners. - It helps maximize value and minimize stress when leaving your business. - Determine your business's value through assessment of assets, liabilities, and revenue. ⚠ Generally, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars for a comprehensive business valuation. Which is why many small business owners never know the worth of their company ⚠ ✅ At J. Galt, we believe every small business owner should know their company's worth without breaking the bank. If you are seeing this post and want to know what your company is worth comment the word VALUE and I will send you more information on our comprehensive software system that can determine your companies worth for less than $500 dollars!

In-Person Workshop for Small Business Owners! Business Plan Training - May 16 A written business plan is commonly required when an entrepreneur is applying for a commercial loan or seeking an equity investment in their new venture. Regardless of capital funding needs, creating a business plan is an often-underestimated step on the entrepreneurial journey—and it can be accomplished prior to committing valuable time, effort and money. Sponsored by the Turner Center for Entrepreneurship and Illinois Small Business Development Center, at Bradley University, is presented at no cost to attendees. You should attend if you: *Are serious about pursuing a new business *Are a small business owner evaluation expansion plans *Are an entrepreneur seeking to better understand your business processes and revenue models *Are a business owner seeking to borrow funds or take on equity investors. There are many benefits to completing the exercise of drafting a written business plan. The greatest of these is freeing your mind to focus on execution. You may have heard that ideas are a dime a dozen, but what makes an idea truly valuable (potentially worth millions) is taking decisive action (execution)! We find the inability to act or make progress often indicates there is a decision (or decisions) that have yet to be made. A written plan is effectively a list of decisions that you, the business owner, have already made. Think of creating your business as a two-step process. First, transfer the ideas from your mind and onto the page. Second, take the plan from the page and put it into action. The workshop will be presented by Eric Sampson, our SBDC Director. Thursday, May 16, 2024 from 3:30pm - 5:30pm CT Bradley University Campus Business & Engineering Convergence Center 1422 W Main Street Peoria IL Register now: https://buff.ly/3QECxEC

Drive your business like you’re going to sell it. The best way to succeed in business is to drive predictable profit and cash flow, predictable sustainable revenue growth, and predictable *transferable value.* That is, “Build to Sell”—even if you never intend to sell. Because when you do, your business will get easier and more fun to run as you enjoy more profit and more revenue. One of the biggest heroes of this movement is Built to Sell author John Warrillow. So glad I got tomeet him at the #EPI #exitplanningsummit with my fellow #CEPA value growth advisors. Be sure to grab John’s latest book The Art of Selling Your Business.
