Thinking About Selling — But Not Quite Ready?
That's completely normal. Most business owners think about selling for 1–3 years before making a move. The smartest thing you can do right now is educate yourself and start preparing — even if you're not listing tomorrow.
Here's where to start.
Step 1: Understand the Process
Selling a business isn't like selling a house. It typically takes 6–12 months from listing to close, and preparation can add another 3–6 months. Knowing what's ahead removes the anxiety.

The single most common question sellers have. Understanding valuation fundamentals — SDE, EBITDA, multiples, and goodwill — helps you set realistic expectations and identify what drives (or diminishes) value.
