Selling a business is a complicated process. Even if you hire brokers like us to sell your business, it’s still imperative for you to understand the process before, during and after the sale. You can’t simply hire us or another broker and blindly let us handle everything.
As an owner, you have a tremendous amount of responsibility to participate in the process regardless of who you hire to help you out. With almost two decades of experience in helping entrepreneurs sell their businesses, I learned that most of them had been thinking about actually selling their business, but never thought about preparing for the sale.
Is this book written for you?
If your business has a revenue of less than $25 million, then this book is for you. Whether you’re selling your business now or you’ve been thinking about selling in the next five years, you will gain useful and actionable insights from this book.
Sell your business without stress. The process of selling a business is complex and can be extremely stressful, especially if not handled correctly. On this book, I explain the entire sale process in simpler terms to help you understand what happened before, during and after the sale.
Anticipating what’s going to happen, e.g., how you should qualify buyers or how you should choose the right seller financing, etc., can definitely reduce, if not totally eliminate, stress in the process.
Be more confident in selling your business. The overwhelming majority of business owners do not have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of selling a business. One of the major reasons for this is that existing books out there are either based merely on theories or intended for very large million-dollar companies.
Because this book is grounded in my nearly 20 years of actual experience handling successful deals, and targeted at businesses with revenues below $25 million, you can be confident that you will get only practical, concrete advice and actionable insights that you can implement in whichever stage of sale you are.
Discover what you don’t know about your own business. There are things about your own business that you will discover only once you take a seller’s hat on. You’ll see your business from a totally different perspective as you better understand how the process can be simplified and as you implement practical advice provided in the book.
