<p>Hello, Andrew Traub is my name.</p>
<p>Back in 1999, I owned a successful computer company called &#8220;CompuFlash.&#8221;  I started it out of my less-than-one-bedroom efficiency on a one way street near the University of Texas campus.  I am still amazed when I think back to those days and that people would drive to that efficiency, fight for parking, and give me thousands of their hard earned dollars for a computer I built next to my refrigerator.  I was truly fortunate.</p>
<p>The company grew to sales of over $1.6 million.  I was proud of it.  I had worked my butt off in it.  By 1999, I was burnt out.  I decided I wanted to move on.  I hired a business broker.  And then the nightmare began.</p>
<p>I will tell you more about my experience later, but you should know that today I am a practicing lawyer in Austin, Texas.  But my passion has always been running a business.  Instead of reading law books and articles, I read marketing and business books.  All the time.  Recently I was approached by a friend with the opportunity to help people buy and sell businesses.  I love the idea.  I have tons of small business experience, a law license, read contracts every day, have an undergraduate business degree (also from UT &#8211; yes, I bleed orange), etc.</p>
<p>So I thought I would put together a website with information about running your own business from A to Z.  It will probably always be a work in progress, but I wanted to share with you my experiences in selling my company and offer you my support if you should decide to sell yours.</p>
<p><a href="/signup">Sign up</a> and I will tell you my story and what I learned about selling a business.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
