What is a Management Buy-In ? There is more than one way to exit a business. But which one is right for you ... or your business? Will you exit the business outright? Transition it to family? Or perhaps close it entirely? There is however an option that can result in greater wealth and a better lifestyle - and that is 'management buy-in'. This is where an external leader with both talent and capital agrees to transition into the business while you, the owner, gradually exits. It's a win-win.

A Business Partner is not like a GM that you hire on a salary to work in your business. They will have other traits like Entrepreneurship and will think more like you. Don't be scared that they appear too "high powered" and will get bored in a business your size. They won't. Yes, they have run larger and more complex businesses, but they haven't had an ownership stake. The missing link for them is "skin in the game". They will have more horsepower to help drive your business forward than a salary only GM and can be an effective succession option as you start stepping back through a Business Owner Transition. Where do you find these people? From the company that know what good looks like. https://lnkd.in/g5rGnRsx
