We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680, 000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them..

The Market have been suffering over the past month, with all the three indexes recording losses in recent weeks. My $400, 000 portfolio is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before retirement will be highly appreciated.

Insightful approach to financing small businesses! Sale leasebacks are a strategic move that can provide much-needed capital without sacrificing operational capabilities. It’s a clever way to balance growth and financial health. 👍

This is an advertisement isn't it?

Most owners do not want to do these leasebacks. Only way they will do this if you pay a premium for the business. For example, If business sale is $500, 000. If seller must finance the buyers 10% down for loan, seller will add at least $50, 000 plus interest to sale price. Additionally, a note from buyer to seller will be provided for the $50, 000 with interest. Most sellers of businesses want to sell, take all their money out at end of transaction. Too much risk with no sold to a buyer

The SBA defines a small business as 500 or fewer employees. Not so small, imho...

What happens if the new owner wants to flip or redevelop the real estate or is it locked into a lease for a fixed period of time?

Ask Red Lobster how Sale Lease Back worked out for them.
This is an infomercial and a poor one at that!

“А что имеет с этого банк?— Кредитные ресурсы. Вы не банкир, вам не понять. Если уж начистоту, то банкир — это самый бесчестный человек на свете. Он пользуется чужими деньгами, как своими, но риск делит с вами пополам. ”

Weird infomercial for a shaky business practice

[Alexibawendi]

Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34, 500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
