Are there any searchers/operators who have used ROBS who can chat?

I've looked through prior ROBS posts and almost all responses are from lenders and financial advisors. Very few searchers/operators seem to have responded.

I'm planning to close on a target in August and think this might be a piece of the funding strategy for this acquisition. At this point I think I'm quite knowledgeable, but I just don't know anyone who has used this (and that worries me).

Like any type of financing, I do know this is not the right fit for all situations.

Would love to chat with someone who has actually used ROBS who is either running or has exited their investment
- Why did you use ROBS?
- How did you get over the consideration of offering employees equity? Did this turn out as you expected?
- Were there any restrictions that you wish you had known in retrospect?

Thank you

I used ROBS on a previous business that I exited years ago and found it roughly as straightforward as the lenders/advisors described it. Feel free to DM me to connect.

If you are using ROBS, you need to pay attention to legislation on the table. It appears Congress may be doing away with it. See post by Alan Johnson
