There are a few ways to sell your business: you can sell to a family member or your employees or managers. But what if none of your family members want to take over your business? What if your managers don’t feel ready to take an entrepreneurial role? In that case, you may want to sell your business to an open market. Just like other exit strategies, selling your company to an open market comes with blindspots that every business owner should be wary of.
In this episode, I discuss the three common exit planning blindspots every business owner needs to consider when selling their business to an open market. I explain why many business owners are unsatisfied with the sale of their business and how to avoid renegotiating against yourself. I also reveal how a business advisor can help you manage your time and maximize value when selling your company.
“Selling your business to a third party has the highest value ceiling among all the exit strategies.” - Justin Goodbread
