EP 194 How Private Equity Looks at Business and Real Estate – Inside Tips with Neel Bhargava

Exit Strategies Radio Show

What if your business could scale faster—and exit smarter—without giving up control?

In this episode, we dive into an often-overlooked strategy for building real estate-backed wealth: partnering with private equity. Neel Bhargava, managing partner of NB Group, joins Corwyn J. Melette to reveal how business owners can unlock massive growth and create lasting financial legacies by bringing on the right investment partners.

Whether you own a gym, a clinic, or any business tied to physical locations, Neel breaks down how his team helps owners expand intelligently and eventually exit on their terms—without losing what they’ve built. He discusses how they scaled a gym franchise from 10 to 74 locations and helped a medical practice triple its reach, all while making strategic real estate moves along the way.

This episode supports the Exit Strategies Radio Show’s mission: to empower our community through financial literacy and real estate education. Neel’s insights are especially powerful for business owners whose long-term wealth is tied to both operations and property.
