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.

E110: Founder Of Raises.Com, Natu Myers, Discusses Raising Investment Money - How2Exit
Natu Myers is the founder of raises.com, a platform that helps companies raise money. Most of his educational background was in software development and coding. He soon noticed that companies wanted to raise money, but had little knowledge of how to do it compliantly. Natu worked with mentors and coaches, and he worked with a Canadian company that was legally allowed to raise money for companies. He soon noticed that the bigger market was regular companies and real estate deals that needed to be funded, and raises.com was created to help them do this.Natu Myers helped over 200 real estate investors and business buyers raise a collective $200m for their new funds and acquisitions over the last two years. After Natu helped his first client create an investment bank in Canada, he founded Raises.com which enables real estate investors and business buyers swiftly create and raise complex private equity offerings with greater ease.Watch it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/krKYqB4zqZk--------------------------------------------------Contact Natu onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natumyers/Website: https://raises.com/--------------------------------------------------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.

Jim Afinowich is the managing partner of IBG Fox & Fin and has been involved in over 1100 closings. He shared his origin story, stating that he had owned fourteen businesses between the ages of twenty and thirty-four before deciding that he enjoyed doing deals more than running the businesses he owned.
