When Should You Sell Your Business? (Hint: Not When You ‘Have To’)
Manage episode 519927574 series 3655270
Most owners tie exit timing to age—not the business. In this roundtable, Dale, Marty, and Tom break down the real “right time to sell”: when you’re ready (mentally + operationally), the business is clean, and you can tell a story buyers will love.
We talk about the 5 Ds that force terrible exits (death, divorce, disagreement, distress, disability), why “sell in strength” always beats scared selling, and how multiples interact with your EBIT and investment decisions (that “$1 now might cost you 8× in value”). We also hit earn-out/back-end risks (second bite of the apple), FOMO, and why trying to time the market is a fool’s errand.
