Business owners often get caught up in the day-to-day operations that they do not give ample consideration to planning out their business exit. This is probably why many businesses are taken to market at the wrong time. The problem with selling too late or too early is that oftentimes the business is not at its best state and therefore doesn’t get valued at the best price or worse, doesn’t get sold at all.
To help us drill into the importance of properly timing a sale, we brought on board Dan Levitus of Vision Brokers and Advisors. Dan talks to us from the perspective of his own experience where he sold his business too late and painfully regretted it. Now armed with the benefit of hindsight, Dan is on a mission to help business owners and advisors operating in this space get businesses sold in the right way and at the best time.
For many business owners, the best time to sell might be sooner than you think. The need to get your business on the market may not seem urgent when everything looks rosy. But sometimes that can mean now is the right time to get the best price for it.
