This one-day event brings together 20+ experts from Kansas City’s leading financial and entrepreneurial support organizations to help you move from idea to ex*****on.
Expect real conversations, actionable insights, and clear next steps—not theory. You’ll leave with a sharper understanding of your options, stronger connections, and a practical roadmap to move your business forward with confidence.

This is one of the top questions people ask about a Rollover for Business Startups! ROBS is not a loan.

With ROBS you’re investing your own capital in your business, which means:

--No interest
--No personal guarantees
--Preserve borrowing for future growth

ROBS helps you keep your borrowing options open and provides flexibility for your business.

A Merchant Cast Advance, or MCA, is considered one of the most expensive forms of financing available to a business. Because it is structured as a purchase of future sales rather than a traditional loan, it often falls outside the scope of many state and federal laws.

A rollover for business startups (ROBS) offers a tax- and penalty-free way to use your retirement funds to start or expand your business and typically takes just weeks to complete.

#1 Start with the business plan:

When people consider a ROBS (Rollover as Business Startups) strategy, it’s tempting to begin with the size of a retirement account and ask, “What can I afford?”

But after years as an advisor—and then using ROBS to buy my own business—I learned the most important lesson: Start with the business plan, not the retirement account.

ROBS should fund a sound business decision, consider:
· Valuation: Are you paying a fair price?
· Cash Flow: Can the business support payroll and growth?
· Operations: Is there a clear transition and operating plan?
