I woke early at a Disney World resort and immediately reached for my phone. I was enjoying some family time, but my kids were still asleep. I only wanted to peek at my mobile banking app to see if my deposit had posted.
Having just finalized the sale of a merchant residual portfolio, I well remember that feeling of the first of two payments in the amount of $200,000+ posting. That was a good day!
Have you ever sold a portion of your residual portfolio? If so, you know the feeling.
As my companies have evolved away from direct sales to consulting and technology, I have sold seven different portfolios in the merchant services industry. This has resulted in my experiencing the good, the bad, and the ugly in that arena! Thinking back on these sales, I’m confident I left at least $100,000 on the table.
I knew that every sale I made generated a monthly residual, but I had no idea I could sell that residual like an asset. In looking at the valuations on the first few accounts that had been processing, I was shocked! The back end pay-off could be lucrative in this industry.
Are you still with me? Sound interesting?
In my mind, this combination of reducing personal stress while increasing business focus is a great way to grow your business and enjoy your life!What do you think? Is it time to explore a full or partial portfolio sale?
