On the latest episode of Built to Sell Radio, our Founder & CEO Sequoya Borgman joins host John Warrillow to share what sets an independent sponsor like Borgman Capital apart from a traditional private equity fund—and how we structure deals to align with both investors and sellers

They cover how business owners can:

• Spot real buyers vs. posers

• Avoid getting burned by a broken LOI

• Weigh the trade-offs of seller financing

• Think like an acquirer to negotiate better

• Know when to sell—or double down
