QSBS Playbook On Deck — Save Millions When You Sell Your Startup

Ben Towne Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Gary Whitfield to dive into one of the most powerful tools in exit planning: Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS). We break down how business owners can potentially exclude up to $10 million—or even more—in capital gains, and what it takes to qualify. From entity structure to valuation strategy, we cover what you need to know early if you're thinking about a future sale. Whether you're an entrepreneur or advising one, this conversation is packed with actionable insights.
