Luis Corrales: Building Wealth Is One Thing, Knowing How to Keep It Is Another

Building a successful business can take decades. But what happens when it is finally time to sell?In this episode of Hidden Secrets in Books, Dominic welcomes Luis Corrales, Founder and CEO of Corrales & Co., a boutique multi family office helping entrepreneurs and high net worth families navigate some of the most consequential financial decisions of their lives.Luis specializes in business exit planning, tax strategy, wealth management, and legacy planning, helping founders prepare for successful exits, reduce unnecessary tax exposure, protect the wealth they have created, and preserve it across generations.Originally from Peru, Luis brings a deeply practical and relationship-driven perspective to wealth building. After immigrating to the United States at a young age, he witnessed how entrepreneurship, hard work, and thoughtful financial decisions could transform a family’s future. Those experiences eventually shaped his mission to help business owners keep more of what they build.Luis is also the Founder and CEO of PineTree Asset Management, a multifamily real estate investment firm focused on acquiring and managing properties across South Florida. His experience as both an advisor and investor gives him a firsthand understanding of the opportunities and challenges entrepreneurs face.In this conversation, we explore what business owners often overlook when preparing for an exit, why wealth preservation needs to begin long before a company is sold, how tax strategy can affect the true value of a business sale, and what founders should be thinking about if they want their success to benefit future generations.We also discuss entrepreneurship, real estate investing, building wealth, financial legacy, and the mindset required to move from simply creating wealth to intentionally preserving it.Because building the business is only part of the journey. The real question is what you do with what you’ve built.Connect with Luis Corrales and learn more about his work:Website: https://corralesco.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luis-corrales-7056365/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theluiscorrales/
