NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) - Your first date! LOI (Letter Of Intent) - You’re officially Boyfriend/Girlfriend. APA (Asset Purchase Agreement) - You are now MARRIED! Earn-out - Having kids. IPO - When you get big and have a lot to share. BONUS Empty Nester - This is when the kids move out and get all the cash..LOL Listen to our previous episode with Chris Rawlings on the link below.
