  • Deal Junkie focuses on Entrepreneurs who want to grow their business and access capital. Private Equity firms have over $1 trillion to invest and are the dominant form of middle market financing, yet it is one of the least transparent markets. What makes the difference between companies who succeed and those who fail in this market? Join Kevin Fechtmeyer, a 27 year industry veteran and his partners on Deal Team 6 who will dissect the deals that come in with thoughtful but brutal honesty and an occasional dose of humor. Find out why most companies aren’t ready for a deal. Deal Junkie is an informative, entertaining mix of interviews and call-ins with deal professionals, investors, CEO’s and other experts. We will interview entrepreneurs who were successful in attracting capital and those that weren’t. If you are in business, you will be able to relate to their real life stories of trials, tribulations and triumph.

    What do I do when I sell my company and get all this money?
    Jan 17 2018
    Hear how Allan Flader of RBC Wealth Management, advises Company Founders to handle a large sum of money coming their way after they sell their company. How should they prepare for that? How much do they really need? What other ways they need to adapt their lifestyle, income and assets to meet their post-transaction needs. Most Entrepreneurs need to diversify their assets, but do they really need to sell all the company? Is there a way to sell part of it or just take money out through a dividend or recapitalization? It's a high class problem, but still can be a problem, for Founders who aren't prepared.
