Description
Estimates suggest 85% of all business owners do not have an exit strategy. Selling a business takes time and planning. All too often, business owners get forced into selling due to health issues, age and so on. Worse yet, they begin to see falling revenues and try to sell when the future is less certain. A carefully laid out plan, prepared in advance will increase the value of your business and attract the type of buyer that you feel would be most appropriate.
Selling a company is like painting a picture. A nice sunny picture with a beautiful sunset is much more attractive than a dark grey day. This may sound simplistic; a buyer is looking for a good news story that he or she feels good about investing in. It is up to you to paint your picture with plenty of color and detail! The presentation outlines 10 key milestones required to preparing a business for resale.
