If you are considering selling your business you would likely benefit from a one-on-one consultation with a seasoned business investor-owner-operator to talk through these questions and more. 

• Who is the right buyer for your business and how will different buyers value your business? 

• Should you hire a sell-side business broker? What about an M&A attorney?

• How long will the process take? Should I tell my employees? 

• Will the buyer require me to stay post sale, and if so, for how long? 

• What is your narrative?

Preparing your business for a sale takes a lot more time than most expect, especially if you have never sold a business before.  Experience and applying a winning strategy is crucial. 

• What levers can you pull today to maximize sale proceeds? 

• Have you identified the potential red flags in your business and have you properly addressed them with enough time to make necessary changes? 

• Are your books and records in good order and in the right format for the right type of buyer?
