Selling a Business

Once an owner has determined that a third-party sale is his or her best exit option, the next step is identifying their exit objectives.  Price is always important, but it usually is only one of the objectives.  Others may be transaction timing, continued employment or consulting, employee security or opportunities,customer service continuity, real estate considerations, non-compete requirements, etc.   For most owners, selling a business is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
