In This Episode
During tonight’s show, we covered the second part of a topic we started on January 29, 2020, the 7 Key Pitfalls When Transitioning My Business. Transitioning your business to the next owner will likely be one of the most difficult things you do in business. And you usually only get one shot at it!
We shared several lessons we’ve learned in our nearly two decades of advising and coaching small business owners. We often get involved in transitioning the business from the current owner to the next owner. We aren’t the guys who help with the structuring of the deal or to find ways to be most tax efficient. There are plenty of qualified attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, and insurance folks who can help you with those pieces. We’re talking about the real messy stuff that can often tank a transition before it even gets started.
To that end, we’ve identified 7 Key Pitfalls that in our experience if you handle these well then you’re chances of a successful transition increase immensely. But if you ignore or don’t address even one of these Pitfalls, it could blow up the entire deal.
