Digital Download
If you are an entrepreneur who has already made the difficult and life-changing decision to sell or exit your business, this book is for you. The decision to transition your company to the next phase has undoubtedly been made after much reflection and, more than likely, in consultation with friends and family — it’s your baby, after all. And while you may be at peace with the decision, the process of where you go from here is probably the source of a great level of anxiety.
The purpose of this book is to put you, the entrepreneur, in a position to execute what we refer to as the “Ideal Transaction” — to be able to sit down at the negotiation table, to play the hand you’ve been dealt and to ensure that it is a winning hand. We will define what that means throughout, but executing the Ideal Transaction leaves the entrepreneur in the best position post-transaction.
