It's a momentous decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. To help you come to the right choice and get the most out of your businesses sale, we've put together a list of three essential things to consider before selling.
1. Is selling the right decision?
Why are you selling your business? If your answer is focused around money problems, difficulties complying with new government regulations or lacking the time to continue, make sure you've considered all your options.
