Want to sell your business? Know the facts | The Augusta Chronicle
Excellent article setting seller expectations for selling their business. The article addresses the reason only about 30% of businesses listed for sale sell. Roadblocks to sale are typically one of three things:
• The owner has an unrealistic expectation of the business’ value and, therefore, the business is priced out of the market.
• The business is losing money and/or is not viable as a going concern.
• There is a fundamental flaw with the business and/or the business model.
