Pre-sale planning will be critical for business owners looking to sell the business over the coming decade as we see the largest transfer of private wealth in history occur. The increasing supply of businesses for sale will create a buyer’s market, in which buyers will only pay top dollar for the most attractive businesses. Business owners that come to market prepared will likely sell for a premium, potentially significant, to those that have not invested the time and effort to prepare for a sale.
