What is the best moment to sell your business? And to what extent can you still exercise any influence on its value? At Stratfield, we see the sale of a business as a strategic matter. It is not the transaction, but the interests of the business owner that must have first priority. But aren’t any feelings involved? There certainly are. Sometimes, an awful lot.
The challenge
A business owner has been trying to sell his shares to his MT for years. Yet the MT backs out at the last minute. The business owner asks Stratfield if we would like to help him sell the business.
