Are you actually building a business you can sell — or just a high-paying job you’ll eventually walk away from?

Many Canadian entrepreneurs dream of cashing out with millions thanks to the lifetime capital gains exemption. But the harsh reality? Most Canadian small business owners never sell — and if they do, the price tag is often far lower than expected. This episode unpacks a real-world case of a tech consultant earning 7 figures in revenue, yet struggling to make the business saleable.

By listening, you’ll discover:

  • Why top-line revenue means little if your business relies solely on you
  • The truth about qualifying for Canada’s lifetime capital gains exemption (and how few actually do)
  • A smarter corporate structure that protects your wealth and gives you real retirement options

If you’re building a business with the dream of one day selling it — press play now to find out if that dream is really within reach.

Discover which phase of wealth creation you are in. Take our quick assessment and you’ll receive a custom wealth-building pathway that matches your phase and learn our CRA compliant tax optimized strategies. Take that assessment here.
