Rethinking SMB Exits: Partial Sales, New Capital, and Family Office Buyers
from Small and Mid-Sized Business Capital and Exits · host MICHAEL SCHUMACHER
Exits are no longer a binary choice. This episode explains how SMB owners are designing partial sales, recapitalizations, staged transitions, and other creative structures to gain liquidity, reduce risk, and still keep a stake in their companies. We break down why capital availability—particularly from patient family offices—is reshaping deal terms, and why the right path depends on aligning your personal goals, the business’s financial needs, and the ideal partner. Listen for practical questions to ask before you transact and a simple framework to turn exit planning into intentional design, not destiny.
