You spent 40 years making yourself indispensable to your business. Now you want someone to write you a big check so you can leave. That’s a tough sell. If every customer calls your cell, every employee needs your approval, and the books come with “let me explain,” a buyer has a pretty reasonable question: What happens when you’re gone? These are fixable problems. But putting the business on a listing site doesn’t fix them. Start a few years early. Clean up the books. Train people to make decisions without you. Introduce customers to the team that will still be there. Your last job before selling your business is to make yourself replaceable!
