In this episode of Poised for Exit, we’re joined by Ruba Khairi and Ahmed Mousa, a dynamic husband-and-wife team of business brokers at Sunbelt Business Advisors. Their journey into business brokerage is anything but ordinary. In 2018, they were prospective buyers themselves, exploring business ownership before being drawn to the world of business brokerage.

When COVID-19 disrupted their plans, they took a leap of faith and attended an open house for prospective business brokers. Although hesitant at first, they quickly realized their passion for helping business owners navigate the transition process. Five years later, Ruba and Ahmed have become top-performing brokers, winning multiple awards and earning spots in Sunbelt’s prestigious President’s Circle.

In this conversation, they share their philosophy of success, which is all about helping people first and foremost, and the importance of guiding business owners through one of the most significant financial transitions of their lives. We also dive into why experienced brokers are in such high demand, especially as millions of baby boomers prepare to retire and transition out of their businesses.

You’ll hear an inspiring client success story that shows just how impactful this work can be. If you're interested in business transitions, exit planning, or the role of brokers in ensuring a smooth exit, this episode is full of valuable insights.
