I felt like I wanted to sell my company internally. I was worried about selling to an outside firm, and whether they’d take good care of my employees.

I was sitting there as a 50% owner – because I had a silent partner, and I had been chewing for a few years on how I was going to buy back his stock.

We’d gotten to the point where continuing to grow the business would require a greater investment of time and capital than I was willing to invest at my age.

When Pendleton Street Business Advisors came across Jessica’s anxious musings on the exponential growth of her business — and whether she was ready to sell to any one of the numerous investors who had come knocking at her door, they got curious.

We were at the end of ourselves. The business was doing well, but we didn’t have the time and energy to devote to it, or to make sure it kept growing.
