What’s next? Build transferable value to beat your competitors
We’re all experiencing fear and uncertainty due to COVID-19, especially in terms of safeguarding our family and friends. Business owners are also wondering “what’s next” when it comes to securing or maintaining our business’ value.
When you’re ready to transition out of your business, what’s next?
Even during this uncertain time, business owners are exiting their companies. The question is: are they doing it on their terms?

Unfortunately, most of these transfers are unsuccessful and result in “seller’s remorse”.
