Original Description

If you sold to private equity, would you want to keep running the business?

In his conversation with Patrick, Brandon details how a private equity backed buyer weighs culture, safety, and people when acquiring founder-led businesses.

You'll discover...
- How most owners get a second wind once the back office is off their plate
- Why a deal lawyer and a strong banker matter more than a family friend with a law degree
- How rep and warranty insurance eases holdbacks, escrow, and legal friction
