If you’re interested in buying an established business, I guess you are trying to break free from workplace rules, politics and all the internal chaos that stifles your growth and creativity? Does that sound about right? It’s wonderful that you have a desire to have full control over your time and money, however, with buying a business, there will be sacrifices. I’m also guessing you will need to leave your job or your role at home, and you will be using your hard-earned money, equity or a loan to fund the business you’re wanting to buy? Whatever you decide, you’ll just need to take the first big leap of courage and follow the steps in this workbook.

How to VALUE your Business Workbook (paperback)

Did you know that about four out of five businesses will never actually sell!? This means 98% of all business buyers will not strike a deal to buy your business. In my opinion, this makes the “business opportunity” market one of the most ineffIcient markets there is. And, the number one reason I believe this happens is because owners/sellers are unable to figure out what their business is worth, and price it accordingly. It is for this reason I created this workbook which is largely drawn from my 25+ years of first-hand experience in buying, renovating and selling my own property and small businesses. However, most of the lessons I’m teaching you come from working as a professional business broker, dealing directly with the hundreds of business buyers and representing those who are selling.
How to SELL your Business Workbook (paperback)

ISBN: 979-8876338327
Selling a business is more than a process of preparing information, negotiating the deal and then letting the buyer take control. Every sale involves varying factors, but all have one common truth: the value of your business is in the hands of a buyer. I have bought businesses. I have sold businesses - for myself and others. Most of these sales have been triggered by illness, divorce or retirement which forced an immediate sale, but other times, and hopefully in your situation, sellers had time to prepare. When I sold my first business way back in 2009, I was very unprepared! Since then, I have bought and sold both my own and hundreds of other businesses, and I am sharing the strategies to preparing and executing a successful sale in this course. Most of the lessons I’m teaching you come from working directly with business buyers and representing those who are selling.
