As Managing Broker at VR Business Brokers of the Twin Cities and a Certified Business Appraiser, Young Bebus brings a rare mix of financial expertise, strategic insight, and deep empathy to her work with founders. After immigrating from South Korea and reinventing her career more than once, she now helps business owners make confident, well-informed decisions during one of the most pivotal chapters of their lives.
Selling a business isn’t just a financial decision – it’s an emotional one. Many owners hesitate to engage an M&A advisor out of fear: fear of losing control, fear of hidden agendas, or fear of being misunderstood. In this episode, Young addresses those concerns head-on and explains how thoughtful, trust-based advisory can ease the emotional burden and maximize outcomes.
The conversation explores real-world examples, including a complex deal that nearly unraveled – and what saved it. Listeners will also learn the one action every business owner should take now to protect value and lay the groundwork for a future sale, even if that sale is still years away.
Don’t miss Young’s upcoming event: the Sell Well Summit on September 24, 2025, at the Graham Center of the Better Business Bureau. This all-day event is designed for business owners who want to build a transition plan, understand valuation, and position themselves for a profitable, tax-smart sale!
