Ep. 33 Can Buying a Business Solve Your Tax Problems? with Luke Van Der Veer

In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, Andrea Cannon and Liz Schwab sit down with Luke Van Der Veer to discuss buying businesses, a solution to his tax problem. Luke graduated with his MBA but it only took Luke about a month to realize that a W2 job was not a good fit for him. He immediately started side hustles like multi-level marketing, drop shipping, and other gigs in order to figure out how to make money outside of a traditional job. He eventually landed on lead generation through SEO and became very successful renting websites to companies. This success created a massive tax burden so he talked with his CPA about how to pay less taxes and his CPA suggested getting into real estate or business buying. He leaned into the business buying and bought an ice cream catering company using a SBA loan. He then leveraged his lead generation skillset to grow the company. Now he's learned a lot since buying this first business so he's looking to buy additional businesses where he can harness his skills to make a difference. Don't miss this episode where we learn if buying a business can solve your tax problems. And if you have your own tax problems, make sure to reach out to Luke to get leads on your own business to buy.
