Key takeaways:

[1:29] Sam and Ray Taylor are recurrent Transworld clients; they grew and brought each company they owned to the next level.

[10:00] Deal of the week: Solomon Padilla (Atlanta Peachtree) just closed an excellent deal on a healthcare company. The selling process took 14 months to work on some challenging matters, including the IRS, two banks, and six attorneys. The buyer had a business in the same industry. The asking price was $2.7 million, and the selling price was $3 million.

[15:26] Sam and Ray Taylor join Andrew.

[15:49] Ray shares how their entrepreneurial career started.

[16:57] What was Ray's first business? A lawn maintenance company that started during his teen years.

[18:01] Ray describes how they sold their first business.

[20:30] Sam is really the secret weapon!

[21:05] How did they build their second business?

[24:50] When Ray no longer feels challenged, he moves on to the next business, which is why he is commonly known as a serial entrepreneur.

[26:54] One year later, they sold their Tree Business for $1.6 million (3 and ½ years ago).

[27:44] They recently sold a site development company for $ 3.5 million.

[30:05] The most crucial aspect is that Sam and Ray kept close contact with their business broker, John, throughout the years, doing business evaluations along the way.

[32:09] Sam and Ray advise those starting their own business.

[35:27] Your business broker will remain with you during the deal transition and after the closing; this relationship really matters.
