The Payroll Lawsuit That Cost Us Our Company with Kerri Raynor

In this episode, Natalie Koop and Danielle Putnam sit down with Kerri Raynor, co-founder of Raynor Services, who has spent over 30 years in the electrical, HVAC, and solar trades building a family business alongside her husband. Kerri opens up about the bathroom moment she told her husband "we have to sell," the payroll lawsuit that forced the decision (a bonus-and-overtime mistake most contractors don't know is on the books), and why protecting her staff mattered more than the so-called golden parachute. She also shares her vision for the New Jersey ACCA chapter as a stepping-stone for $1–5M contractors, and what it really looks like to build a business with your spouse. If you're a family business owner or quietly thinking about what your exit could look like one day, this episode is full of the real stuff.
