I want to answer three simple questions. First, what is an M&A advisor or business broker? In its simplest form, we work with business owners who are looking to sell their business or acquire a new one to reach their strategic objectives. Second, what does a sale process look like? Like most things, it depends on your situation, but regardless of your business, selling it comes down to three things: prepare for the process, confidentially market your business, and negotiate, document, and close the transaction. Drawing on twenty years of M&A experience, I work across all three, and my goal is always to use that experience to educate and inform my clients, so they make the most informed decisions for themselves, their family, and their business. Third, when should you reach out to an M&A advisor or business broker? This is a relationship-based business, so I am always glad to talk with a business owner. Whether you think a sale is imminent, you are curious what your business might be worth, or retirement is starting to feel closer than it used to, I would welcome a confidential conversation to understand your situation, and I am glad to offer a complimentary market price analysis so you know where your business stands in today's market.
