External Resources for Business Owners
Insights to Support Informed Decisions
When preparing to sell a business, it helps to understand the broader landscape. Market conditions, valuation trends, tax considerations, and deal structures all influence outcomes, and not all information sources are created equal.
This page brings together a curated selection of third-party articles, tools, and industry resources we trust and reference in our work with business owners. These external resources are intended to provide additional context and perspective as you think through timing, value, and readiness, and to complement the guidance you receive from George & Company.
At George & Company, our aim is to ensure that when the time comes to sell, it feels right both on paper and in your life.
