What if you could take significant cash out of your business while maintaining majority ownership?

If you are like most business owners, your business is your largest asset. This often presents several problems, including increased financial risk and lack of liquidity. Business owners frequently struggle to achieve true financial freedom without withdrawing funds from their company. Many owners dream of taking cash from their business but are not ready to give up ownership or control.

Traditional methods to cash out of a business often mean losing majority ownership and saddling your business with excess debt. That's where Cashing Out of Your Business comes in. The Cashing Out process used to be reserved for companies worth $50 million or more but is now available for companies valued at $10 million or greater. The method helps business owners like you remove cash from your business while keeping operational control and maintaining majority ownership.

What is Your Financial Freedom Number?

The first step for business owners to achieve true financial freedom is an assessment to determine how much their version of freedom will cost. Once they have identified their "financial freedom number," many owners can gain more clarity and confidence about how to achieve true financial independence. To get started determining your own financial freedom number, take our short survey at www.CashingOutBook.com today.

Many business owners dream of financial freedom but think they have to give up management control or sell their business to get the money they need. Now you can get cash out of your business without giving up majority ownership and it may be easier than you think.
