This is a YouTube video titled "Why Selling a $20 Million Business Isn't Always Worth It" containing a discussion between two speakers about the financial implications and personal preferences related to selling a business versus maintaining it as a cash-generating entity. The conversation explores the trade-offs of a large exit versus ongoing income, recorded in November 2024.
How much do you care about, like, building to sell?
I don't want to sell. I much prefer the idea of building cash generating machines, you know, rather than.
A big sort of like 5x revenue exit or something.
Yeah, I mean, if you think about it, okay, I sell my company for 20 million bucks. Okay? You know, 50% goes to Uncle Sam. So I got 10 million, you know, and then I put that in, what, like a 5% account? And then I. And then I make like, you know, what is that, 400k a year or something? That's actually a lot less than I make. I have 10 million bucks, but my lifestyle is actually less than what I have now, so why would I want to sell?
