How to Sell Your Business - Daydreaming about getting out of your business? Wonder how you would go about selling your business?

Do you find yourself thinking about getting out of your business and wonder how to go about it?

Selling your business /exit planning is a broad and complex topic.  No two situations are identical. 

The right exit plan depends on the business itself and the needs and wants of the business owner, however, no matter who you are or what circumstances you are in, this is one strategy that can be used by all business owners:

Do not procrastinate – Get started now.  I cannot emphasise this enough.  Even if you have only just started in your business, you ought to always run your business with one eye on the exit.  After all, you may not control your exit timing.  You may not even be around to manage the process.

However, lets assume you are and you plan on selling your business to retire.

The process of selling your business - Consider that some businesses may take a year or more to properly prepare for sale.  This can be due to the involved nature of them or the lack of prior planning and available information.

Keep in mind that to put a business on the market without the correct preparation can have disastrous consequences on the business valuation- sale price of the business.

Planning and knowledge of the process is crucial and business owners that are educated about the exit planning process will achieve the best outcome.

Start running your business with the end in mind.
