How to Actually Sell Your Business (What Most Owners Get Wrong)

The Short Version
Most owners only start thinking seriously about selling once they are burned out or ready to move on, and by that point their options have already narrowed. Understanding the process early is what widens them. Whether your timeline is twelve months or five years, the preparation you do before going to market has more influence on the outcome than anything that happens during the sale itself.
