Introduction & Background

Today's economy offers some unique opportunities and challenges for business owners and entrepreneurs.

Research shows that as many as twelve million businesses - representing some $10 trillion in value - could change hands in the next decade. However, research also indicates that as many as 80% of businesses that put themselves up for sale will never be sold. (Click here for business sales statistics)

So, with the large number of companies putting themselves up for sale, there will be downward pressure on the sale prices companies might get for themselves. Plus, buyers will have a stronger hand in negotiations as they will have more choices and opportunities to purchase well-run, profitable companies. (Click here for Wall Street Journal article, "Want to Sell a Business? You May Not Be Ready." published January 8, 2008)

In response, business owners and entrepreneurs need to begin now with building and shaping their companies into something that is valuable, tranferrable, and ultimately, sellable.

It's all about preparation, knowledge and a superior strategy. That's where we come in.
