Sell Your Business

Playbook

When is the right time to sell your business?

Signs it may be time, and why selling from strength usually works best.

Sell while it is going well

Buyers pay most for steady or growing profit. Waiting until you are tired or results slip often reduces both price and choice.

Personal signs

You think about the future more than the next order, you want time for family or health, or the work no longer excites you.

Business signs

The next stage needs investment, hiring or energy you do not want to give, or a key contract or lease is coming up for renewal.

Give yourself time

Preparing well can take a year or more. Starting a quiet conversation early costs nothing and keeps your options open.
