Episode 90 – You’re Ready. Your Business Isn’t.
A common theme we see with many sellers is the owner doesn’t properly plan their exit. They come to Apex when they (the owner) are ready to sell because of burnout, retirement, health issues, etc. Unfortunately, they have not taken the necessary steps to make the business ready to sell. Both have to be ready to sell. Getting the business ready to sell takes much longer than getting the owner ready. Andy and Doug discuss when to start the conversation to ensure you don’t fall into this category when you’re ready to sell.
