This week I get a question from YouTube viewer on da track who asks, ‘What does equity in a business mean? The Shark Tank guys are always saying they’ll pay $X for X% of the equity?!?’ Super-Duper question. In today’s video, I talk about what equity is on a balance sheet and why that number rarely matches what people say the equity is worth. We’ll also discuss some of the assumptions that lie under the choppy surface of show’s like Shark Tank and Dragon’s Den.

This week I explore a new (to me) way of exiting a business. Sell it to your employees via forming a worker co-operative. I know very little about co-ops outside of the credit union, insurance companies and grocery stores that I see when driving around. Finn Mauritzen of www.fashion-worker.com joins me for a discussion on the different types of co-ops and how business owners can use this as a vehicle for exiting a business. Of course, I asked some important questions like: • If everyone is an owner, how does someone get fired? • Do the managers earn more? • Can a worker/owner sell his portion to someone else? • Etc. It was a great and informative conversation and I know you’ll learn something new a
