Due to owner dependencies, it is often difficult for small or mid-sized business owners to sell their businesses fully and just walk away.
If this is the case, Transition Architects can use a number of creative approaches to support the owner transition over a longer time period.
These approaches often evaluate the potential for deferred buyouts, hire your buyer &/ or reducing partnerships.

- A summary Profile outlining your company’s strengths, allowing promotion of your company’s availability in a confidential manner.
