Selling your business?
A huge tax bill doesn’t have to be part of the deal.
Turn a $600,000 capital gains tax to just $60,000 out of pocket
(and make the rest work for you)
Have you wondered if there’s a way to reduce that massive tax bill when you sell your business?
Are you worried about how much of your business sale proceeds you’ll actually get to keep?
Do you feel overwhelmed by all the financial and tax planning needed to make the most of your sale?
Are you second-guessing whether now is the right time to sell your business?
Have you calculated how much you’ll owe in taxes after selling your business?
Does the thought of paying hundreds of thousands - or even millions - in capital gains taxes keep you up at night?
If you’re reading this, chances are, one (or more) of these concerns is weighing on your mind.
And chances are, you know you should be thinking about how to protect your profits and avoid surprises - which is why you’re here in the first place.
Most business owners face the same 9 concerns when planning to sell their companies:
Too many hands in the pot
Keeping the most money
Everyone wants a piece
Handling lump sums
Capital gains taxes
Avoiding penalties
Timing the sale
Gaps in advice
Reducing fees
The clarity, control and confidence you’ve been looking for
Maybe you’ve trusted your CPA, financial advisor, or other experts for years, but now that you’re preparing to sell your business, you’re second-guessing if they really have the expertise to handle a deal of this size.
You’ve tried to educate yourself, but the process is overwhelming.
There’s so much advice out there, and it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s just another person or product trying to take a cut of your hard-earned success.
You want to make the right moves, but the stakes feel too high to risk making a mistake.
So you decide to stick with what’s familiar - your current advisors, your assumptions - but is that the right call?
Our approach gives business owners the clarity, confidence and financial security they need to move forward with their sale and keep more of the proceeds.
Here’s how we do it: we take a deep dive into your specific situation, helping you find the most tax-efficient solutions, structure your sale to minimize risk, and make sure you’re not overpaying fees or taxes.
It’s all about reducing unnecessary costs, avoiding surprises, and keeping your profits where they belong - in YOUR pocket.

Questions? We thought you might have a few.
Why haven’t I heard about these types of solutions before?
Many financial service companies and advisors focus on selling financial products instead of tailored, tax-efficient solutions. The solutions we offer have been around for decades, but they aren’t widely publicized. The main reason? The companies we compete with push products (mutual funds and variable annuities, for example) that allow them to collect the most annual fees (in other words, make more money).
We’re about building solutions and THEN figuring out what types of products are available that fit your unique situation vs. simply going straight to a product.
Another reason? Many CPAs and advisors simply don’t know about these strategies or fully understand how they work. CPAs are great at tax compliance - filing your returns and ensuring accuracy - but they’re not always equipped to handle complex, proactive tax planning tied to a business sale. That’s where we come in, combining expert knowledge with personalized strategies to help you keep more of your hard-earned money.
I’ve talked to other business owners. Why haven’t any of us heard about this before?
Most business owners either haven’t been exposed to these solutions or haven’t had them explained in a way that makes sense. This is all about minimizing taxes, keeping more of what you’ve earned, and turning a once-in-a-lifetime sale into long-term financial stability.
What’s the ideal business sale size for these solutions?
$1 million to $200 million may sound like a wide range, but once you’re in the 7-figure territory, significant tax burdens - especially from capital gains taxes - become unavoidable.
For example, without the right strategy, selling a $5 million business could leave you paying $1 million or more to the IRS.That’s where we step in - helping you keep more of your proceeds by reducing taxes and fees.
How do I know how much my business is worth?
Great question! Knowing what your business is worth is a key part of planning your sale. We offer valuation services to give you a clear idea of your business’s value and help you understand what factors are driving it.
Understanding that can help you plan smarter, whether you’re looking to sell soon or just want to be prepared.
Why should I consider these solutions before I sell my business?
Planning ahead is important. By addressing tax strategies and structuring your sale early, you can reduce the taxes you’ll owe, avoid costly mistakes and ensure you’re walking away with the maximum amount possible.
Without proper planning, many business owners face higher tax rates, unnecessary fees and regret over not keeping more of their hard-earned money.
There has to be a catch. What is it?
The only catch is this: you need to dedicate some time to planning. Selling a business is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make, and failing to plan ahead could cost you millions.
Many business owners end up paying far more in taxes than necessary simply because they didn’t know the options available to them. With our help, you can avoid being one of them.
We know you’re busy. We do everything in our power to make this as easy of a process on you as possible.

Meet Bobby Myers
Hi, I’m Bobby Myers from the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. I’m not a financial advisor - I’m a business owner who’s been there, done that. You won’t find me in a suit and tie. I’m usually in jeans, boots, and a ball cap, getting my hands dirty just like the business I’ve run. I like to hunt and fish, too - might as well get that out of the way up front.
I come from a blue-collar background and have owned and operated several civil construction businesses. My first business was a lawn care company that I sold for $25,000 back in 2013, mainly because I had no idea what I was doing. But I learned a lot from that experience, and now I focus on helping other business owners who are selling their businesses for millions.
I partner with trusted advisors, and together, we help business owners understand capital gains taxes and build tax-efficient strategies to offset them. We take the time to learn about your business, your financial situation, and your goals. From there, we create a plan at no charge to you. We’re compensated by the experts we connect you with, but only if you decide to move forward, so our success is tied to finding the best possible solutions for you. There’s no cost or risk in reaching out.
