The Secret Why Your Business Won't Sell

from Books & The Biz · host Dan Paulson and Richard Veltre

You've probably heard us say that roughly 80% of all businesses will be sold at a discount if they are sold at all. For many owners who are counting on that sale to help fund their retirement, they are seeing a problem. These are companies that may even have decent profits and show potential. So why is that the case? This Books & The Biz will look at the hard truths many business owners have ignored as they built their enterprise. The good news is there's still time to change trajectory. Find out what could hold back your sale, and what you can do about it. Matt Guse joins us as a special guest. Matt owns MRS Machining and shares his new book, "MRS Machining, A Manufacturing Story" which ties in well to our discussion today. https://a.co/d/hVtncgZ
