You’ve been working a long time to nurture and grow your business. You’ve built a good reputation and survived the highs and the lows that come from being the boss. You’ve put a lot of time, effort, and equity into growing, and now you’re looking to sell. But, the learning curve has been so focused on growing that you never stopped to consider what needs to be done to sell. Well, just like selling a home, success comes from being prepared and knowing what to expect and how to get yourself, your finances, and your employees in order before you leap.
Look no further, because, on Friday, Sept. 20 in Ukiah and on Monday, September 23 in Fort Bragg West Business Development Center will host the “Ins and Outs of Selling a Business” workshop.
