Pitfalls & Challenges of Selling Your Business

Clean titles are a must! Just like selling your car or house, it would be really hard to sell without a clean title. Finding out at the last min that there’s a lean on something is going to crush a sale pretty quickly. Talk to your accountants and attorneys ahead of time. Clean that stuff up! Start a couple of years before you are ready to sell, talk to people about what your value should be. Figure out the legal components. Contact your banker, make sure you’re set up the best to optimize your sale. Doing this prep work makes it easy for the buyer to buy. Even if you are not looking to sell, make sure your titles and leans are all correct. Keep those things current as you go, don’t wait until you’re ready to sell. Check out the segment below to learn more from our Better Business Roundtable team!
