Helping Retiring Business Owners Sell to Next-Generation Buyers, Keeping Their Businesses Locally or Family Owned.

Owner Dependency Kills Value ⏳ If the business can’t run without you, buyers see risk, not opportunity. Strong systems, a reliable team, and transferable customer relationships boost valuation. Build a business, not a job. #SellableBusiness #BusinessGrowth

I do believe that we need to make sure our teams are well versed in using AI so that their jobs can be secure as they make adjustments for the future of work.
No entrepreneur is worried about an AI taking their job.

Apparently X can roast you: Ha! 🤣👇 Colette, you look like you’ve spent so much time perfecting that professional profile pic that you forgot how to smile naturally—your grin screams "I’m selling my business, but I’m secretly terrified of retirement." And judging by your posts, you’re so obsessed with planning your next chapter that you probably have a five-year plan for your goldfish. Relax a little—your business isn’t the only thing that needs a break from you!

The other side of retirement from running a business can leave you feeling empty if you don't have a plan. You can change that plan, but be careful if you don't have one.

Selling your business isn’t just about getting the right price; it’s about setting yourself up for a fulfilling next chapter. The better prepared you are mentally, the smoother the transition will be.

3. Detach from Daily Operations Buyers want a business that can thrive without you. Start stepping back from daily operations by delegating responsibilities and systematizing processes. This shift not only makes your business more valuable but also helps you mentally transition from owner to seller.

2. Define Your ‘Why’ for Selling Clarity is key. Are you selling to retire, pursue a new venture, or reduce stress? Understanding your motivations keeps you focused and prevents second-guessing when challenges arise.
