According to BizBuySell, the business sales market is active — but buyers are more selective than ever.

Stronger lending standards and increased due diligence mean buyers are asking tougher questions and looking closely at financial performance before making offers.

For sellers, that makes preparation critical: organized financials, realistic valuation, and a clear growth story can help maximize results.

At George & Company, we help owners prepare for successful exits.

Today’s business buyers look different than they did just a few years ago.

The latest BizBuySell report shows a growing number of “corporate refugees” — professionals leaving traditional careers in search of ownership, independence, and long-term wealth through business acquisition. Nearly half of surveyed buyers identified this way.

That means more motivated buyers are entering the market — especially for profitable, well-run companies.

Selling your business is likely the largest financial event of your life.

The question isn’t just, “What’s the sale price?”
It’s, “What does this mean for the rest of my life?”

Owners who involve a wealth manager early don’t just negotiate for a higher number — they negotiate with clarity around long-term financial independence.

A strong wealth advisor helps you:
• Define your real financial finish line
• Model different deal outcomes
• Turn proceeds into a durable income plan
• Evaluate offers in the context of your life goals

A successful exit isn’t just about closing. It’s about what happens after.
