Steps To Selling Your Business

1. Get a Business Valuation: Understand what your business is truly worth today

2. Prepare the Business for Sale: Strengthen operations, financials, and team structure to make your business more attractive and less dependent on you.

Frequently Asked Questions


How long does it take to sell a business?


The average business sale takes 6 to 12 months, but this can vary based on your industry, the business’s financials, deal complexity, and buyer readiness.

Preparation makes a huge difference. Businesses that are well-prepared—clean books, transferable systems, documented processes, and reduced owner dependence—typically sell faster and for more money.

We guide you through pre-sale prep to streamline the process and reduce time on market.


What’s my business really worth?


A business is worth what someone is willing to pay and what it's ready to support in terms of cash flow, risk, and growth. We perform a comprehensive valuation based on earnings (like SDE or EBITDA), industry benchmarks, intangible capital (customer loyalty, brand, team, systems), and market demand.

If your business isn’t yet where it needs to be, we’ll help you build value before listing—so you don’t leave money on the table.


Should I tell my employees or customers I’m selling?


Not at first. Confidentiality is key during the early stages of a sale. Premature announcements can cause anxiety among staff or customers and may disrupt operations.

We help you structure the process to protect confidentiality while preparing internal systems for a seamless transition once a buyer is secured.

When the time is right, we also guide you through communication planning for employees, customers, and vendors.


Will I have to stay on after the sale?


It depends on the buyer and deal structure.

Some buyers want you involved short-term to help with transition and training (commonly 3 to 12 months), while others—especially strategic or experienced buyers—prefer you to step away quickly.

The good news? With the right preparation, you’ll have options.

We help you build a business that can run without you, giving you the freedom to negotiate your ideal exit timeline.
