See Ken's Book on Selling Your Business - https://online.flippingbook.com/view/512102704/

When a company owner needs to sell their business, they find it is a very daunting and complex process. They need the assistance of a qualified Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor to locate and vet potential buyers, navigate commercials, manage due diligence and advise on contracts and post sale. On the other side, buyers rely on the M&A Advisor to help facilitate the process of evaluating potential businesses and managing the acquisition process.

Buying and selling a business is 60% heart and 40% head.
