Always keep in mind the main reason a business fails to sell is that it is not packaged as an attractive investment-grade asset. This is akin to selling a second-hand car when it is covered in mud and smells like an old boot.
The first step before you put your business on the market is to make sure the business can be shown as a valuable asset and that a purchaser can see value in the acquisition. This is where Everest Tax & Property can help.
