The Difficult Business of Selling a Business Yourself

Submitted bygeraldjanosko onThu, 02/20/2025 - 08:01

Business Owners generally know when its time to sell ........But Being Busy........ Many Times Business Owners Don’t Know Where to Start the Selling Process .........

After building your company up for 10-20-25 years or more from something small to what it is today you are now confronted with the task of selling your company. However the challenge you face can have you stumped. In the course of building your company what prepared you for what you want to do today? You don’t get in business to sell a company. But your "gut" is telling you something. It's saying it's time to go...........

Some sellers know when its "time to sell" because the instincts that helped you grow the company are the same instincts that tell you that now is the time - the time to sell. For other sellers its that "gut feeling" that has always guided you that "tells you" now is the time to sell. Then of course the remaining group of sellers are guided by a "family member" that "tells you that its time to sell" so you can then travel or spend more time with the family.

The 2nd confirmation you will have that the time is right is when your gut has told you this and your brain confirms what your gut told you to do………

You’re not alone; it’s a common problem for business owners. You develop all the skills needed to make your company successful, sales finance, marketing, building a workforce and increasing revenues and profits each year. If you sell your company only once – and you botch it- all your years of hard work spent building the business can be wasted. If you want to do it right….  hire a professional – hire a "Business Broker" i.e. an M&A Advisor. 

The M&A Advisor will take you out of the process of selling the business so you can continue to run the business.

M&A Advisor “success fees” or “commissions” are a percentage of the sale price – and only paid at a successful closing.

Consider hiring the “professionals” at Hartford Business Partners, We will get the job done right… the first time.
