A few weeks
go I made a video and blog post about whether it made sense to pay off all your
small business debts in order to prepare a business for sale. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/pOJ3B1_K9L8
I promised
to make another video discussing how paying off small business debt would
affect the personal wealth of the owner.
You see,
most small business owners are debt-averse.
They believe that debt is bad and that it makes sense to pay off debt to
increase one’s net-worth.
The reality
though is that debt gives you leverage and small businesses are risky.
Watch this
week’s video to see how paying off small business debt actually reduces your
rate of return and increases your risk!
