Common Questions
What's the difference between Beyond the Lease Partners and Next Chapter Partners?
Beyond the Lease Partners is specifically for business owners who want to stop renting and are looking for partners to buy a property for their business and co-own the building they operate in.
Next Chapter Partners covers two different situations: selling your business outright or bringing in a private investor for part of it.
What size business are you looking for?
We look at a wide range of profitable, established businesses across the country. Reach out and we will tell you honestly whether your business is a fit.
How does the building partnership actually work financially?
Structures vary by situation, typically involving a shared ownership entity that purchases the property, with your business paying rent into that entity instead of an outside landlord. We will walk through the specific structure and numbers for your situation directly. At the end of the day, this path gives you equity in your space.
Will selling my business mean my employees lose their jobs?
Not as a rule. We build deal terms around what matters to you, and for many owners, that includes protecting their team through a transition. This is a conversation, not a fixed formula.
How long does this process take?
It depends entirely on the path and the specific deal. Some conversations move in weeks, others take months, or others may take longer than a year. We move at your pace, not the other way around, based on what is best for each situation.
Is my information confidential if I reach out?
Yes. Initial conversations are confidential with only Kevin Welch. We will sign an NDA; therefore, Kevin can only disclose further information to other potential investors he has approved, if taking that next step makes professional sense.
