Selling your business is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make—but most owners make costly mistakes that can easily be avoided. The biggest one? Not planning before signing a letter of intent. From there, it snowballs—selling too early without increasing value, not building a strong management team, having a weak or concentrated client base, choosing the wrong buyer, and trying to do everything alone. Add in running too many personal expenses through the business (which can hurt your valuation) and failing to structure the sale properly, and you could be leaving serious money on the table. The truth is, a successful exit isn’t just about finding a buyer—it’s about preparing years in advance so you maximize value and minimize taxes.
