Common Questions from Sellers
How long does it take to sell a business?
Most small to mid-sized businesses sell within 6-12 months, though timing varies based on the business, price, and market conditions.
Will my employees find out?
Confidentiality is paramount. Buyers sign NDAs before receiving information, and employees typically aren't informed until closing is imminent.
What if I'm not ready to sell yet?
That's fine. Many owners benefit from a preliminary valuation to understand their options and plan for a future sale.
How is my business valued?
Valuation typically uses multiples of earnings (SDE or EBITDA), considering industry standards, growth trends, and comparable sales.
