Sell Your Business with Confidence

Selling your Ohio-based business will likely be one of the most significant financial transactions and one of the biggest emotional decisions of your life. Owners use the proceeds to redesign and stabilize their retirement plans. This milestone brings a new chapter of life full of opportunities and excitement if you are adequately prepared.

The more deliberately you plan your path forward, the better the outcome and the happier you’ll be with your selling decision. During the transition, you will realize that your self-worth and sense of purpose are not tied to the business. Consider the following three questions and the next step.

What is motivating you to sell?

A combination of factors often leads to the sale of a company, including relocation, burnout, health concerns, and other reasons. Some owners debate retirement for years and then realize that their adult children have no interest in continuing the business. The desire for freedom to pursue lifestyle changes means finding a qualified buyer for your business.

What are your goals for selling?

Clarity around your top objectives will help guide the process and discussions with potential buyers. Also, understanding what’s unacceptable (your deal breakers) will streamline evaluations and negotiations. A few examples include,

  • I want a straightforward purchase and exit strategy, considering my timelines.
  • I want $X to buy my company. This number can be reasonable or unrealistic.
  • I’m willing to stay three to six months to ensure a smooth transition.
  • I want the buyer to purchase the business real estate.
  • I want to reward my employees with retention bonuses.

What are your reservations?

When selling your business, a sense of uneasiness and anxiety about the future makes you normal. Without clear direction, confusion and misunderstandings compound the problems you experience. Do you have any of these concerns?

  • anxious about what lies ahead
  • uncertain that my business has value or if I can find a buyer
  • worried about my legacy
  • my health issues compound the financial burden
