Start Now to Sell or Recapitalize in 2011

By Bill Quish, CEPA
Senior Managing Director, Lyons Solutions LLC

Business owners who need or want to complete the sale or recapitalization of their business in 2011 should immediately start the process. The sale or recapitalization of a business generally takes six to nine months. Hiring an experienced merger and acquisition intermediary to facilitate this complex process will improve the chances of meeting your goal.

Factor In Your Post Sale Commitment

Don’t forget that after the sale, most privately held business owners will be required to assist the buyer for a period of one to two years. If your goal is to be free and clear of all responsibilities associated with your business within two to three years, you should begin the business sale process now.

Are You Positioned To Sell Quickly?

For a thorough understanding of the business sale process and a confidential assessment as to whether your company is positioned to sell quickly, please contact a Lyons Solutions professional.
