One co-founder wanted to leave, but held a high valuation expectation. The remaining founder wanted to buy them out but needed to fund the deal creatively without putting the business under financial strain.
Andy supported both founders to understand the business’s true value and structured a deal that blended personal borrowing and cash flow mechanisms. He ensured the agreement was robust, fair and achievable — and helped manage the emotions of a long-term partnership ending.
The remaining founder gained full ownership and the exiting founder left satisfied. The business moved forward with stability, and the deal structure allowed for ambition without undue pressure.
