Part of the reason when consulting with new business ventures I ALWAYS suggested that that owners NEVER have their name within the DBA company/coporate name/logo.
Make the association much easier to distance after a sale.
And NEVER EVER EVER EVER personally finance the sale of a business to new owner... EVER!!!! It's a recipe for heartache. Seen too many that see a fraction of the financed amount actually paid. Most go default and lose everything.
THIS!!!! Most who want a business have nothing, if you back them you will both have nothing, might as well knock it in the head on your own.
