In this episode we are joined by Andrew Van Dyke, a financial advisor with Modern Woodmen in Meridian Idaho. Andrew shares his wisdom from working with business owners to manage their financial assets, both within the business deferred compensation plans and outside the business with their own investments. Andrew was born in raised in beautiful Northern California, in wine country. From the time he was young, he had a passion for numbers and people. From the get-go, it has made this career a natural fit for him, but that's not why he works as a financial advisor. His biggest passion is time freedom, and his goal is to teach and pass on that passion to his clients. 

Andrew specializes in developing tax strategies for business owners and the self-employed to minimize their tax bills today and tomorrow. He helps to create passive income streams for business owners once they have transitioned out of their businesses.

Selling a business is the American dream, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the reward for years of hard work. Successful entrepreneurs make countless sacrifices in hopes that they would someday reap the benefits of their labor and live a new life of vacations, recreation, and prosperity.

You only exit your business once, so you should feel confident passing this milestone. A successful business exit reflects the preparation done beforehand. Failing to plan is planning to fail.

The owner of a privately held company has several alternatives on how to exit their business. In the absence of an exit strategy, events will inexorably dictate the final exit plan. A costly involuntary exit may be caused by death, disability, divorce, disagreement, or distress.

Selling Your Business with David King will help you take control of the sale process and make it positive one.
