Start with the questions that matter most
For many business owners, the decision to sell is shaped long before a business is officially on the market. Questions around timing, valuation, readiness, and risk often surface years in advance, even if the sale itself feels far off.
The resources featured here focus on the issues that most commonly affect sellers. They address why businesses struggle to sell, what factors influence value and buyer interest, and what owners can do early to improve outcomes. These insights are drawn from real conversations and real transactions, highlighting patterns we see when owners wait too long to prepare or misunderstand what buyers are looking for.
If you are considering a sale at any point in the future, these resources are designed to help you think ahead, avoid costly missteps, and position your business more effectively when the time is right.
