Roadmap to Selling a Business or Taking on Outside Investors

A business is a founder’s baby – the founders created it and worked tirelessly to make it successful. Deciding it may be time to sell all or part is the easy part – acknowledging and addressing the financial and emotional issues can be challenging.

Negotiating with potential buyers or investors is time intensive, to say the least. Positioning a business for a value maximizing transaction requires planning. What professionals need to be engaged? How do the parties come to a valuation? What is the profile of the likely investor or buyer? These are just some of the questions this webinar addresses.
