- Selling a business is a job in itself, and preparation is a very important ingredient and should be organised in advance before putting your business on the market for sale. As with most planning, preparation is the key to a successful sale of a company.
Sale structure is not that simple but it is also not that hard if you think it through in advance. Preparing your business for sale is one of the most important things you will ever do – the more effort you put into this, the better outcome you get.
Fiona Yiend, who heads up our M&A Services at Aspect Legal, together with host Joanna Oakey, provide some tips to assist you in preparing to sell your business. This week, we focus on setting up protections for the value you earn. This is also valuable listening to all advisors and accountants to businesses who are planning to exit their business through a sale.
