Selling Your Business Yourself?

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential California Realty

The independent business owner who decides to sell is at the threshold of a major process involving the emotions as well as the marketplace. In many cases, the business for sale represents the seller's life work. Being the independent type to begin with--as well as someone who knows about deals and sales--the tempting notion sometimes arises: Why don't I handle the sale of my business myself? Those sellers with similar temptations should first take a look at the steps necessary for the successful business sale--and at the advantages of taking those steps in tandem with the best possible professional guide.

I think it it important to have someone else sell your business, because you have too much emotions involved in it and may miss out on a good deal because you feel the offer is beneath all the time and energy you put into the business.

Unfortunately a lot of people follow this advice:

When all else fails, hire a professional (list your profession here_)

To bad more didn't hire the professional up front.
