E116: Scott Duke: Founder Of OpnRoad - Navigating Business Transition And Building Sellable Assets
Scott Duke is an M&A advisor and the founder of eleven companies. He started his first company while in university to pay for school without taking on a lot of student debt. The company was a painting company, similar to College Pro. When it comes to mergers and acquisitions, interest rates have a huge impact. When interest rates double, banks use a debt servicing ratio to determine how much they are willing to lend. This directly impacts the cash flow of businesses, as the same amount of money is needed to service debt. Scott's story is similar to most entrepreneurs as they start out small and then eventually get into larger ventures.Watch it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/8X2YPg0ulto--------------------------------------------------Contact Scott onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgordonduke/Website: https://opnroad.io/--------------------------------------------------How2Exit Joins ITX's Channel Partner Network!-Why ITX?Since 1998, ITX has created $5 billion in value by selling more than 225 IT businesses in 20 countries.
