Shout out to the girls at Ulta who were so patient with my mom as you tried to explain to her that makeup and skincare are different from how they were 20 years ago (I’ve long been fighting that battle). You’re so welcome for telling her what you actually wanted to say to her, and your thoughts are valid, she’s just stubborn 💛

I feel like eddie definitely loves elvira like he has one of those magazine posters of hers somewhere in his dresser

oh 100%. that man is such a sucker for elvira and mortician adams and such. if you ever decided to dress up as one of them for halloween, he’d lose his goddamn mind.

you’d initially bring it up casually (after finding that said magazine — but he doesn’t need to know that) and already his heart would be skipping beats thinking about you in that fashion, but when a few weeks pass and you actually do it? oh. oh dear lord help the boy. he’d be so dramatic about it. worshiping you and kissing the ground you walk on the entire night, never going more than a few minutes without complimenting you. at the first reveal he’s doing his chest stabbing moment, falling back on the couch and playing dead. you’d be giggling and lean over him like “get up, dumb ass” and he’d just mutter out the corner of his mouth “i can’t, your beauty killed me” with his eyes still closed.

and you’d tease him, saying, “oh, yeah? that’s a shame. guess i’ll have to go find someone else to be the gomez to my morticia-“

in an instant that boy is sitting back up and wrapping his arms around you to pull you into him as he starts to kiss you all over, and you’d resist complaining “my makeup, eddie!” and he’d just have his mouth still latched onto your neck as he said “don’t care. fix it later.” before kissing your red lips 🥺

he definitely ends up wearing more of your lipstick than you are, and he definitely doesn’t bother cleaning it off

ive had symptoms for several years now, but over the last few months it has been exponentially worse. i haven't worked since february. and back in...february or march, ronnie was like "you'll need a lot of extra electrolytes"

How Liquidity Providers Benefit Shareholders - Smart Exit Strategies

Liquidity providers play a crucial role in offering shareholders flexible exit strategies, ensuring smooth capital flow, and enhancing market efficiency. Whether in public or private markets, a liquidity provider facilitates asset conversion into cash, reducing risk and volatility. For investors in private equity or restricted shares, accessing liquidity can be challenging. Headwall Private Markets bridges this gap, offering tailored solutions for shareholders seeking optimized liquidity options. Explore how liquidity providers empower investors with competitive pricing, minimize price impact, and create a seamless trading experience. Learn how to unlock value in your holdings with strategic liquidity solutions.

Liquidity Providers for Shareholders: Unlocking Value & Exit Strategies

In the financial ecosystem, liquidity providers serve as a bridge between shareholders and market efficiency. For investors holding private equity, restricted stocks, or illiquid assets, accessing liquidity can be a challenge. Liquidity providers step in to facilitate smooth transactions, offering strategic solutions for investors seeking timely exits without compromising asset value.

This guide explores the critical role of liquidity providers, their benefits to shareholders, and how choosing the right partner can enhance capital flow and investment flexibility.

1. What Is a Liquidity Provider for Shareholders?

A liquidity provider is an entity or institution that facilitates the buying and selling of financial assets to ensure smooth market operations. For shareholders, especially those in private markets or holding restricted stocks, liquidity providers offer an alternative exit route when traditional public markets are not an option. These providers play a pivotal role in: ✔ Enabling shareholders to sell their holdings efficiently. ✔ Reducing price volatility and maintaining market stability. ✔ Offering fair market value without extensive waiting periods.

2. Why Do Shareholders Need Liquidity Solutions?

Shareholders often face liquidity constraints due to various factors:

Restricted Securities: Investors in startups, private companies, or pre-IPO firms often hold non-tradable stocks.

Lock-in Periods: Founders, employees, or early-stage investors may be restricted from selling shares immediately.

Limited Secondary Market: Private equity shareholders often lack direct buyers, making liquidity a challenge.

Liquidity providers address these issues by offering structured solutions to help investors monetize their holdings while mitigating risks.

3. Key Benefits of Liquidity Providers for Shareholders

Liquidity providers offer several advantages, ensuring shareholders maximize their investment value:

✔ Faster Access to Capital

Traditional exits, such as IPOs or mergers, take time. Liquidity providers offer immediate solutions, allowing shareholders to access capital when needed.

✔ Competitive Pricing & Market Stability

By facilitating transactions with institutional buyers, liquidity providers help maintain stable pricing, ensuring investors receive fair value.

✔ Risk Mitigation

Holding illiquid assets poses financial risks. Liquidity providers reduce exposure by enabling controlled asset liquidation.

✔ Confidential & Strategic Transactions

For shareholders looking for discreet exits, liquidity providers offer confidential transactions, preventing market disruptions.

4. Who Can Benefit from Liquidity Providers?

Liquidity providers serve a broad range of investors, including:

Private Equity & Venture Capital Investors: Those holding shares in pre-IPO companies.

Founders & Early-Stage Employees: Seeking to liquidate restricted shares.

Institutional Investors: Managing large portfolios with illiquid assets.

Family Offices & Wealth Managers: Optimizing investment strategies with flexible liquidity solutions.

5. How to Choose the Right Liquidity Provider?

Selecting a reliable liquidity provider is crucial for maximizing shareholder value. Consider these factors:

✔ Expertise in Private Markets

Choose a provider with a strong track record in handling private equity transactions.

✔ Transparent Pricing & Fair Valuation

Ensure competitive pricing mechanisms that align with market value.

✔ Strong Network of Buyers & Investors

A well-connected provider can offer better liquidity options.

✔ Regulatory Compliance & Security

Work with firms that adhere to legal and financial regulations for secure transactions.

6. Headwall Private Markets: A Trusted Liquidity Solution

Headwall Private Markets specializes in providing customized liquidity solutions for shareholders. Whether you’re a private equity investor, early-stage employee, or institutional investor, Headwall ensures seamless asset conversion into capital.

Why Business Families Struggle With Liquidity?

Introduction

Business families have historically contributed significantly to wealth creation, employment, and economic growth. However, many struggle with liquidity despite having substantial wealth. Liquidity refers to the ability to access cash or easily convertible assets, which is essential for sustaining operations, fueling growth, and handling unexpected financial challenges. Unfortunately, business families often find themselves asset-rich but cash-poor, limiting their financial flexibility.

This article explores why business families face liquidity challenges, covering factors such as concentrated wealth in illiquid assets, emotional business ties, succession planning, tax burdens, and economic downturns. We will also discuss strategic solutions to improve liquidity management.

1. Wealth Locked in Illiquid Assets

Business families frequently have most of their wealth tied up in real estate, privately held business equity, and legacy assets, limiting access to liquid funds.

Key Factors:

Private Ownership: Unlike publicly traded companies, family businesses have restricted share trade options.

Asset-Heavy Investments: Capital is often invested in land, equipment, and facilities, reducing cash availability.

Limited External Financing: Many lenders hesitate to fund family businesses with unpredictable cash flow.

2. Emotional Business Attachment

Family businesses are often more than financial assets; they carry emotional and generational significance, making liquidity-related decisions complex.

Consequences:

Unwillingness to Sell: Owners resist selling assets or shares even when financially necessary.

Legacy Preservation Over Liquidity: Maintaining family control takes precedence over financial flexibility.

Unwise Investments: Emotional choices may lead to investments that do not generate liquidity.

3. Succession Planning and Liquidity Struggles

Transferring leadership and ownership across generations can create liquidity challenges if not planned properly.

Key Issues:

Buyout Burdens: Retiring family members often require significant payouts, straining liquidity.

Inheritance Conflicts: Disputes over ownership can drain financial resources and delay liquidity decisions.

Lack of Structured Planning: Poor financial planning during transitions leads to sudden liquidity crises.

4. Tax Liabilities Impacting Liquidity

Family businesses face significant tax burdens during ownership transitions and asset sales, affecting cash flow.

Major Tax Challenges:

Estate and Inheritance Taxes: Transferring wealth across generations can lead to high tax obligations, forcing asset sales.

Capital Gains Tax: Selling assets for liquidity may trigger substantial tax payments, reducing net cash flow.

Poor Tax Planning: Without proper tax strategies, families may face unexpected financial stress.

5. Economic Downturns and Market Volatility

Economic downturns, industry shifts, and recessions can create unexpected liquidity challenges for family businesses.

Effects of Market Instability:

Revenue Declines: Reduced consumer spending leads to lower income and restricted cash flow.

Debt Burden Increases: Economic downturns make it harder to meet existing debt obligations.

Difficult Fundraising: Lenders and investors become hesitant to support struggling businesses.

6. Generational Financial Priorities Differ

Different generations within a family business may have conflicting financial priorities, impacting liquidity management.

Key Conflicts:

Conservative vs. Growth Strategies: Older members focus on stability, while younger ones seek expansion.

Profit Reinvestment vs. Payouts: Differing views on reinvesting profits or distributing dividends.

Varied Risk Appetite: Generational gaps create inconsistent liquidity approaches.

7. Weak Financial Governance

Many family businesses lack formal financial governance structures, making liquidity management inconsistent.

Governance-Related Issues:

Unstructured Decision-Making: Unclear financial leadership leads to erratic cash flow management.

Financial Opacity: Poor record-keeping obscures true liquidity positions.

No Defined Liquidity Plan: Cash reserves can be depleted without a replenishment strategy.

8. Over-Reliance on Debt Financing

Excessive debt usage can lead to liquidity struggles, especially during downturns.

Debt-Related Risks:

High Interest Payments: Reduces available cash for operations.

Restrictive Loan Covenants: Lenders impose conditions that limit financial flexibility.

Potential Defaults: Failure to meet debt obligations can trigger liquidity crises.

Strategies for Improving Liquidity

Despite these challenges, business families can take steps to strengthen their liquidity position.

1. Diversifying Investments

Holding liquid assets like stocks, bonds, and reserves provides financial flexibility.

Exploring new revenue streams can reduce reliance on a single business.

2. Implementing Strong Financial Governance

Establishing clear liquidity policies ensures structured cash flow management.

Conducting regular financial audits increases transparency.

3. Improving Succession and Tax Planning

Structured succession planning prevents liquidity crises during leadership changes.

Tax-efficient wealth transfer strategies help reduce financial burdens.

4. Maintaining Emergency Reserves

Setting aside contingency funds helps businesses survive downturns.

Accessing credit lines as backup liquidity ensures stability.

Conclusion

Business families face liquidity challenges due to wealth concentration in illiquid assets, emotional decision-making, succession complexities, tax burdens, economic downturns, governance gaps, and debt dependency. However, strategic financial planning, governance improvement, and investment diversification can enhance liquidity management, ensuring long-term financial stability.

By addressing these challenges, family businesses can safeguard both their legacy and financial health for future generations.

I've been disabled for almost 29 years. Here's what I've learned.

Tablets sink and capsules float. Separate out your tablets and capsules when you go to take them. Tip your head down when taking capsules and up when taking tablets. Liquigels don't matter, they kinda stay in the middle of whatever liquid is in your mouth.

If your pill tastes bad, coat it with a bit of butter or margarine. I learned this from my mom, who learned it from a pharmacist.

Being in pain every day isn't normal. Average people experience pain during exceptional moments, like when they stub their toe or jam their finger in a door, not when they sit cross-legged.

Make a medical binder. Make multiple medical binders. I have a small one that comes with me to appointments and two big ones that stay at home, one with old stuff and one with more recent stuff.

Find your icons. Some of mine include Daya Betty (drag queen with diabetes), Stef Sanjati (influencer with Waardenburg syndrome and ADHD), and Hank Green (guy with ulcerative colitis who... does a bunch of stuff). They don't have to be disabled in the same way as you. They don't even have to be real people. Put their pictures up somewhere if you want; I've been meaning to decorate my medical binders with pictures of my icons.

Take a bin, box, bag, basket, whatever and fill it with items to cope with. This can be stuff for mentally coping like colouring books or play clay or stuff for physically coping like pain medicine or physio tape.

Decorate your shit! My cane for at home has a plushie backpack clip hanging from the end of the handle and my cane for going places is covered in stickers. All of my medical binders have fun scrapbooking paper on the outside. Sometimes, I put stickers and washi tape on my inhalers and pill bottles. I used my Cricut to decorate my coping bin with quotes from my icons, like "I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se" and "I need you to be angrier with that bell".

If a flare-up is making you unable to eat or keep food down, consider going to the ER. A pharmacist once told me that since my eye flares can make me so nauseous that I cannot eat, then I need to go to the hospital when that happens.

Cola works wonders for nausea. I have mini cans of Diet Pepsi in my coping bin.

Shortbread is one of the only things I can eat when nauseous. Giant Tiger sells individually-wrapped servings of shortbread around Christmas or the British import store sells them year-round. I also keep these in my coping bin.

Unless it violates a pain contract or something, don't be afraid to go behind your doctor's back to get something they are refusing you. I got my cardiologist referral by getting in with a different NP at my primary care clinic than who I usually saw. I switched from Seroquel to Abilify by visiting a walk-in.

If you have a condition affecting your abdomen in some way (GI issues, reproductive problems, y'know) then invest in track pants that are too big. I bought some for my laparoscopy over a year ago and they've been handy for pelvic pain days, too. I've also heard loose pants are good for after colonoscopies.

Do whatever works, even if it's weird. I've sat on the floor of the Eaton Centre to take my pills. I've shoved heating pads down my front waistband to reach my uterus.

High-top Converse are good for weak ankles. I almost exclusively wear them.

You can reuse your pill bottles for stuff. I use my jumbo ones to store makeup sponges and my long skinny ones to hold a travel-size amount of Q-Tips.

Just because your diagnostics come back with nothing, it doesn't mean nothing is wrong. Maybe you were checking the wrong thing, or the diagnostic tool wasn't sensitive enough. I have bradycardia episodes even though multiple cardiac tests caught nothing. I probably have endometriosis even though my gynecologist didn't see anything.

You can bring your comfort item to appointments, and it's generally a green flag when someone talks to you about it. I brought a Squishmallow turkey (named Ulana) to my laparoscopy and they had her wearing my mask when I woke up. I brought a Build-A-Bear cat (named Blinx) to another procedure and a nurse told me that everyone in the hall on the way to the procedure room saw him and were talking about how cute he was. Both of those ended up being positive experiences and every person who talked to me about my plushies was nice to me. If you don't feel comfortable having it visible to your provider during the appointment, you can hide it in your bag and just know it's there, or if you're in a video appointment, you can hold it below frame in your lap.

Get a small bucket, fill it with stuff, and stick it in your bed (if you have room for it). I filled a bucket with Ensure, juice boxes, oatmeal bars, lotion, my rescue inhaler, etc. in October 2023 in anticipation of my laparoscopy and I still have it in my bed as of January 2025.

If your disability impacts your impulse control (e.g. ADHD, bipolar disorder), you should consider setting limits around your spending -- no more than X dollars at a time, nothing online unless it's absolutely necessary, and so on. Or, run these purchases by someone you trust before committing to them; I use my BFF groupchat to help talk sense into myself when I buy stuff.

Feel free to add on what you've learned about disability!
