Options for business owners looking to sell

Starting and running a company can be a wonderful adventure.  Selling it need not be so daunting if you choose the right Guide.  Someone who you know will have your best interests and those you care about uppermost in their mind as they help you chart your course to a new beginning.

Deciding how and when to sell your business is a very particular challenge and responsibility. None of us will live for ever and as the years pass our time becomes more precious to us and we must plan for the time when some-one else must think about meeting the monthly payroll and the mortgages that are dependent on the positive cash flow of your enterprise.

The weight of responsibility can be crushing.  The fear of what to do after selling will be very real.  So too may be the concern that you will lose a key customer or employee or fall out with a key supplier.

You need someone who understands the challenges you face as the business owner.  They need to know all the alternatives that may be open to you.  Selling a business is never easy.  I know from more than 35 years as a corporate solicitor about all of the potential pitfalls.

I understand too the emotions that you, and the team that you care about, will be experiencing.  To make good choices you must take the time to think through the issues.  All businesses are different and you may need to be sceptical of advisers with a particular axe to grind and their own overheads and payroll to meet.

We call our novel approach the Business Owners Succession Strategy or The BOSS for short and it is designed to help you find the right way to retire or move on from your business
