The statement “with a little sales and marketing, a new owner could make a fortune with my business” has been heard over and over by prospective buyers.
The question of course is: “Mr. Business Owner, why haven’t you made that effort?” Buyers are not willing to pay the business owner for their future efforts and investment necessary to grow the business.
Business owners must take those steps themselves, which not only will increase their revenues and profits in the short term, but will greatly improve the value of their business.
I help business owners exit on their terms, not by chance. As the founder of Transworld Business Advisors of Alaska and Greater Seattle, I guide entrepreneurs through confidential business sales, mergers, and franchise growth.
I’ve built, bought, and sold companies myself, so I know the grind, the risk, and the reward. For over 30 years, I’ve helped owners uncover what their business is truly worth, and what comes next.
Every business has a story. Mine is to make sure yours ends well, with purpose, pride, and the freedom to choose what’s next.
