Military Supplier Partnership Interest Sold
Our military supply company was owned 50/50 between me and a partner. My partner wanted to retire but I, in good health and 15 years younger, preferred not to sell. Also, due to the nature of our operations and the void he would leave, I was not prepared to buy my partner’s shares. Searching for a solution we consulted with Inxcorp. They advised us they would first attempt to locate a new partner with similar skills that would buy my then partner’s shares and assume his responsibilities. If that failed they would then sell our entire company including my shares. I was very pleased when after a six month search they found the perfect match as my new partner. We closed 60 days after introduction with both me and my retired partner happy with the result.
