You may not have been involved with high level M & A but I bet you have purchased something to help expand your business! Designing a strong legacy can include buying businesses, whether it’s that you see potential or have great ideas for value creation. In this week’s episode, Angelina Carleton speaks with Ryan Goral, Founder of G-Spire Group, a company focused on helping entrepreneurs, executives and small business owners acquire companies. Ryan shares how oftentimes sellers have an team of advisors to assist them while buyers in the “lower middle market” lack competent business consultants to help them. Mr. Goral breaks down how you can increase the multiple of your business (EBITDA, EBIT, Net Earnings, etc) to grow its value and have all the tools needed for your strategic legacy plan!

Our Story: We believe the positive legacy of every human being can be realized with great coaching. Most of us are not developing the kind of legacy that allows us to be as happy and intentional as we'd like to be. We think, speak and write about developing personal life legacies so others can see a way forward with ease and possibilities. If the path to your legacy is defined and developed, you will be able to experience more freedom, fulfillment and satisfaction. Our Mission Statement: Developing a holistic legacy is not yet an endeavor to pursue for most people, even if it could be a vision ‘one day’, which sometimes makes people feel overwhelmed and with clay feet. We wake up every morning and pave a way for "new legacy conversations" so more people can take personal agency in designing their lasting legacy. Our Theme: If the bridge to a personal legacy is made clear, more people will be able to cross to the other side and design a legacy filled with meaning and their values. - If you’re not a client yet, here’s your invitation to schedule your consultation and book your first session online today. We work with self-made entrepreneurs, family office executives, NextGen family members, trustees of charitable estates and those participating in family foundations.
