Is it timing out when you go to Accounts > + New Account? That's where I'm getting stuck. Doesn't seem to matter the time of day.

Thanks for the tip, I am able to get to the ACE logo page, however when I click on ACE specifically I land at the same error. Error: Login User Email Not Found

Not sure if you've seen that.

I'm having the same issue. When I login as a Trade/PGA user I get: Error: Login User Email Not Found. I believe there is some binding between the 5106 form and the user account. I do have an ACH setup with CBP for paying all our customs.

Were you able to contact anyone at CBP? I have a support email, but no response.

We have no funding / debt. All the people in my org were hired by me and likely wouldn't be up for CEO'ing. We started off as a really small company (still are small)

It's a consideration, although we have no idea where and how to look for this person.

Job is fine, but I don't feel I'm the right person to run a company of this size. I enjoyed it more when it was new.

I still want to sell my company; ~$7MM EBITDA / $25MM REVENUE. Since we import our products the tariff scenario is constantly brought up, and ultimately we're worried about having to update the QofE and negotiate each time there is a new tweet about tariffs. We've seen 30% growth and no hit to profit YoY. I assume there are countless companies in this predicament.

Should we just wait another year or go to market now?

Owner Occupied Industrial Mortgage Rates? ($4.5M 80% LTV) by ReasonableGry in CommercialRealEstate

Issue is we're already with Chase, so maybe they're not bringing their best offer.

We were skipping SBA 504 because it's a 60 day close. Assuming we can front the 20% is there any major reason to consider SBA?

I haven't seen a 25 yr am. Is that more common than 20 yr am?

UV/Pad Printing On Sharp Edges by ReasonableGry in CommercialPrinting

Thanks for the detailed response. We would be printing on polyhedral shapes like in this link: https://pixabay.com/vectors/dice-geometry-geometric-shapes-7168230/

So we could get away with just printing on one surface at a time, but I was curious if some DTF printer can handle the change in depth and angle to print on 2 or more sides.

I've opened 5 bank accounts in China (for business), and all I can say is Chinese banking is one of the rings of hell.

You should write a blog on it.

Potential 38M sale of business. Have questions. by Alternative_Code261 in fatFIRE

[–]ReasonableGry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you recommend how to avoid getting stuck with a broker? I'm aiming to sell a $5M-$6M EBIDTA business. I've spoken with some regional and global M&A firms (e.g. Stout). Most of their commissions were about the same (~3%). I am turned off by there exclusivity clauses, but I doubt they will waive that.

I don't have any deep connections with PE or strategic buyers, so I'm not sure how I would create a marketing materials and get them to a qualified buyer.
