7 VALUEMAXIMIZERS™ FOR PREPARING YOUR BUSINESS FOR SALE BEFORE YOU SELECT A BROKERAGE FIRM

Before you even consider the process of selling your business there are 7 Critical Elements  that you MUST have in place to maximize the value and salability.  Failure to have even one of these can needlessly cost you significantly, and may make your business difficult to sell. Knowing these elements can help you prepare your company in advance of the sale.

In addition, one of the greatest overlooked things when selling an entrepreneurial company is, “after the sale.”  Understanding life after the sale is critical. Get it wrong and you likely will be miserable!

How do I know these things? Because I have built 3 national companies from scratch…two were ranked on the Inc. 500 list at #59 and #106 and a third reached nearly $1B in value. I have bought and/or sold 8 companies, and raised $77M from private equity.

And most importantly, I did almost everything wrong when I sold my first company, with 200%+ on the table. If I knew what I can share with you, I would  likely have avoided some stupid and painful mistakes in selling my first company.
