How to Prepare Your Business for a Successful Sale | Conversation with Stuart Rubenstein

In this conversation, business broker Anthony Rigney of Quorum Business Advisors sits down with Stuart Rubenstein of Cultivate Advisors to discuss what business owners should be doing long before they try to sell their company. Many owners wait until retirement, burnout, or a life event forces them to sell. Unfortunately, by that point the business often isn’t structured in a way that attracts strong buyers or commands the best price. In this discussion we cover: • Why many businesses are too dependent on the owner to sell easily • The importance of clean financials and strong reporting • How systems and processes increase the value of a company • Why business owners should treat their company as an asset — not just a job • The role of leadership teams and documented processes • How improving the “health” of a business increases valuation • Practical steps owners can take today to prepare for an eventual sale Anthony and Stuart also discuss a real transaction they worked on together where the owner spent several years preparing the business properly — resulting in a successful sale and a very satisfied seller.
