“Key Considerations When Selling Your Business” – Financier Worldwide

Becker Shareholder Robert BrightonThe decision to sell your business is a landmark event, whether you are an entrepreneur, the owner of a family business or a business owned with partners.

However, this should not be the only consideration. Sometimes, obtaining the maximum gross sale price does not result in a successful sale.
