There are several options for purchasing a business. ROBS is a program that allows you to use your 401k funds tax free to invest in a business. I'm curious if anyone has done this or has some experience.

If you structure your investment as a QSBS you could also avoid taxation when you sell depending again on where you live, how large the capital gain, and whether you sell stock vs. assets.
I'd recommend you speak with a tax adviser to see what is best for your specific situation. It is worth the additional cost.
