What's it really like to sell a business? We interviewed some past sellers to find out.

Today's post covers the question: How did you prepare personally and financially for the sale?

Take a look!

Everyone's dressing up for Halloween, so we decided to join the fun. This year, we're going as...

Business Brokers!

We really committed to the look. 🎃

Our costumes might be low-effort, but our commitment to our clients is anything but.

If you need help valuing, buying, or selling a business, you know where to find us.

You don't have to be ready to sell your business to start the process of preparing.

We LOVE when we get to work with business owners 3-5 years before an exit to help get the business in top shape before hitting the market.

We came, we saw, we concreted.

Yesterday, Melanie and Kate spent the day in St. Louis. We spent time presenting to an Entrepreneurs' Organization group about what buyers look at when analyzing a business. After that, we met with a seller to talk about the process of valuing and selling his business. It was a great day, so of course we had to treat ourselves to some Andy's for the drive home.

Confidentiality is crucial when selling a business. You don't want employees to find out, get nervous, and start searching for a new job. Customers might feel like they need to find another provider for your services. Competitors see what they perceive as weakness and start rumors.

Essentially, nothing good happens if the general public finds out that your business is for sale.

So who should know? Your spouse, your trusted advisors, and your business broker. That's it.

We LOVE when business owners come to us for a valuation before they're ready to sell! The ideal timeline is 3-5 years early. This time frame gives owners time to make changes to improve the value and prepare the business to attract the best buyers.

A few months ago, we interview three of our past sellers. We wanted to hear about their experience during the sale process and what advice they'd give to other business owners. This post covers the first of 10 questions we asked:

What steps did you take that best prepared you for selling your business or what do you wish you would have done?

09/24/2026

We like to have fun outside the office too. Last week Melanie and Kate attended a concert at the fair. Jen decided to skip since, as you can tell by our faces, it was approximately 105 degrees. We're definitely feeling grateful for cooler temps this week!

09/23/2026

It's that time of year where we have to renew our real estate licenses. It's always a time of great joy (or suffering) in our office. Please enjoy some examples of questions from Melanie's continuing education course on national disasters. If you walk into our office in the next few days, please expect to see us making these faces at our computers.

Let us know what you think the correct answers are in the comments!
