Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Jonathan Jay, Roland Fraiser, KC Chohan, Trevor Blake, Andre Swanston, Ross Hamilton & Antonio Garrido and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about how to successfully buy or sell a business. Do not miss this compilation episode of the Best Of Making Bank Series. (2:10) Jonathan Jay The majority of businesses don't succeed past the first five years, so the best approach is to look for a business that's been running for at least five years that makes solid, reliable profits every single month and then once you've got the business, it will continue to make solid, reliable profits month after month for you. (6:57) Roland Fraiser The best way to identify which business to get into is by using what is known as the acquisition wheel and this wheel consists of seven categories. They are competitors, media, resources, products, services, monthly recurring or annual recurring companies, suppliers, distributors, and ip. Now you need to know who are the primary companies that fit that description. (15:11) KC Chohan You can save a lot on tax by changing the ownership structure of everything. So when the company is owned by the trust ahead of the sale, when the sale happens, the trust will receive those funds and that saves you all the taxes unless you make a distribution. If you distribute those funds to a beneficiary, they are taxable. (17:11) Trevor Blake In this new world, you have to rely really on your intuition more than you ever had to before. Develop a strong connection to your intuition so that you can make instantaneous decisions that you feel are right, even though the world might be saying otherwise. This is because you do not have time to always ask for help for everything. You have to react really quickly and for that you need strong intuition. (20:46) Andre Swanston The value of multi-year contracts was exponentially more in terms of the multiple you could get on revenue as opposed to one-off contracts. And so in terms of preparing to raise another round, you should note that 50 cents of a multi-year contract was worth 2$ to $3 of a one-time expense. So there are different ways that you have to think about growing it and valuation. (22:47) Ross Hamilton There's a huge change when you remove the word problem and change it with the word project. So now you don't have a problem. You have a project and this mental shift in how you view problems will really help solve a lot of other things that may hinder your business into either growing or even when you want to buy or sell one. (28:16) Antonio Garrido Leaders with a mindset of abundance as compared to scarcity tend to have a higher success rate. Think about what you're grateful for. You are in a tremendously blessed situation. Ask people how you can help and don't accept an “Everything's good” answer. Keep pushing and once they give you an answer, start following up on your commitments.

Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have KC Chohan, who is the founder of Together CFO, a tax advisory accounting and tax preparation firm based in Los Angeles, California.His financial strategies have been the best kept secrets of the elite. He's an expert on tax strategy and helps with high net worth families, protect their wealth and reduce taxes. He builds out the same structures as the elite billionaires to be able to legally do things that the average certified public accountant can't do. He has a deep passion for serving others and educating those who are overpaying taxes, and this is what drives his customer loyalty. Don't miss this episode of Casey Chohan at Making Bank today. (4:18) Together CFO Together CFO is a subset of a huge pie. If you think of a family office, it's all about encompassing everything from tax, to insurance, to wealth management and everything in between. Together CFO is one slice of that pie, which is the tax slice plus estate planning slice. (5:44) Tax Strategies The one common thing that all billionaires have is the thing that goes before the private foundation. That's the part they don't tell anyone. They get all of the tax deductions for charitable giving and then it's into a private foundation where they are the trustees. The key element of it all is something called a complex trust. That's the structure of choice for billionaires. (9:40) Background “More people want tax savings than they do CFO services. And it's so much easier to explain tax savings than it is CFO services.”, KC Chohan explained how it all started when they pivoted the company to help higher net worth business owners, usually first generation. (15:43) Billionaire Taxes Most of the elites don't own the assets in their own name. It's the trust that owns the jets, the yachts and everything else. And changing trustees is not a taxable event. You can graduate your kids from being beneficiaries into being trustees and now they control all those assets and there's no taxable event. (17:48) Tax Loopholes Go to skool.com/tax and you can get the top 50 tax loopholes that you should be using. If you are paying over $200,000 in taxes, then check out the website. There's a free tax savings calculator. It is togethercfo.com. It's free to use. Go check out how much you're overpaying and then feel free to set up a call with the team and you'll be shown how to stop overpaying. (19:25) Selling A Business You can save a lot of money in taxes by just changing the ownership structure of everything. The company isn't owned by you. It would be owned by the trust ahead of the sale. So when the sale happens, the trust will receive those funds. So all of those restrictions go away with the trust and you can reinvest that money however you wish, in whatever asset type in whatever time frame you like. (25:43) Asset Protection It's important as you grow and scale to protect your assets and using a complex trust is arguably the best way to do that because it's a bifurcated ownership. That means the trustee is the fiduciary, but if someone tries to sue the trustee, they can't come after the trust. If someone tries to sue the beneficiary, they can't get the trust assets either. So it ultra protects the assets that are owned by the trust because of this bifurcation.

(16:08) Tax Loopholes Go to skool.com/tax and you can get the top 50 tax loopholes that you should be using. If you are paying over $200,000 in taxes, then check out the website. There's a free tax savings calculator. It is togethercfo.com. It's free to use. Go check out how much you're overpaying and then feel free to set up a call with the team and you'll be shown how to stop overpaying. (17:47) Selling A Business You can save a lot of money in taxes by just changing the ownership structure of everything. The company isn't owned by you. It would be owned by the trust ahead of the sale. So when the sale happens, the trust will receive those funds. So all of those restrictions go away with the trust and you can reinvest that money however you wish, in whatever asset type in whatever time frame you like. (24:04) Asset Protection It's important as you grow and scale to protect your assets and using a complex trust is arguably the best way to do that because it's a bifurcated ownership. That means the trustee is the fiduciary, but if someone tries to sue the trustee, they can't come after the trust. If someone tries to sue the beneficiary, they can't get the trust assets either. So it ultra protects the assets that are owned by the trust because of this bifurcation.

If you could imagine a kid growing up in the countryside of England, lots of beautiful green fields and rolling hills running around playing in the mud with his dog, that was basically Kc as a kid. His hopeless curiosity and desire to grow led him to be interested in business, specifically big business with big problems to solve. He loves solving problems and pushing what people consider the limits.Kc ended up getting a degree in business and finance thinking that those two combined would be a great skill set to understand and thrive in business, not anticipating or thinking he would start an accounting firm. He then went in the direction of being a boring accountant and working on bookkeeping – which makes most people have a visceral cringe when mentioned, “Oh dam, that sounds terribly boring.” It was a great opportunity, not something he could say no to especially as he had the job before he had even finished university. It was very difficult to say no to an immediate paycheck but…Becoming an accounting as you can probably imagine was kind of miserable doing the same thing day in day out because HE REALIZED that he had so much more to offer than just hiding in the books. It became apparent to Kc that this was not aligned with his unique disposition and personality and one thing he believes in strongly is that to be successful, people need to live in a place they thrive. In this episode, Brad and KC discuss maximizing your tax reductions and getting your proper return. Bombs: - Do your reading. Put in the effort. Upgrade your tax team. You will see the rewards.

Eric then became a partner with Ray Wilson Family Fitness Centers, which grew to 72 locations. Eric went on to Asia and created California Fitness in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and Australia.
