Answers to common questions
Do I have to have a business in mind?+
No. Many clients come to this session before they've looked at any specific opportunities.
What if I already have savings but no plan?+
That is exactly what this session is designed for. It turns your capital and intent into a structured plan.
Will you tell me not to buy a business?+
If it isn't the right time, or the numbers don't stack up, we'll say so. Independence is the point.
