A circle of people who have been through the same thing. Entry follows a transaction.
Someone who has sold a life's work loses three things at once: occupation, circle and standing. The money is there; its purpose has to be found again.
A form of conversation in place of networking and business breakfasts. A few dozen people who have been through a business sale — the subject needs no explaining to them.
Members' actual situations: how they structured it, where they lost value, what they would do differently.
Companies being sold through us are seen by members before they reach the open market.
Owners who sold a business through us or with our involvement. By a member's personal recommendation, with our agreement.
Those seeking to buy access to a database. Consultants and intermediaries. Those looking for clients inside the club: that destroys trust faster than anything else.
Membership arises out of work done together. It is the continuation of a relationship with the people we took through a transaction.
四海之內皆兄弟也 — «Within the four seas all people are brothers»
Confucius, Analects, «Yan Yuan». After selling a business what an owner most often loses is a circle of equals. The club exists for that reason.
