There are many reasons why you may decide to sell your business. Based on our experience, here are the most common reasons

Yes, there is an optimal time. Most small to medium-sized companies wait much too long to sell their businesses. Without a clear understanding about how to sell a business, many owners do not obtain the price or terms they expected for the many years of dedicated effort and successful growth.

Selling your business is a highly important transaction which will have a long- term impact on your life. This process should be well planned and executed by acquisition professionals who are serious about managing the process in a professional and effective manner. The ultimate decision to sell should be made only by you. The important thing is to start thinking about the decision now. Be sure not to wait until the decision is forced upon you by external or internal circumstances beyond your control

Whatever the stage of your business growth, investing your time to learn the details of selling is important to ensure an effective outcome. Our discussions with you may help you make important decisions about the time and price for your business for a sale at a future time.
