Selling a business needs tenacity and good timing
Article Abstract:
Timing the sale of a company is important in getting the best price for it. Sellers should examine the demand for the company's services or products, review potential for growth, and whether other companies are inclined to buy. Sellers should also consult an attorney regarding indemnities and warranties, and should perform a background check on potential buyers. Buyer information helps target key sale points and whether the buyer is motivated.
