With baby boomers forming the majority of SME owners in Australia, the number of businesses for sale will rise dramatically over the next ten years as this generation prepares for retirement. The resulting glut will make it harder to sell at the price and time vendors want.

In a highly competitive marketplace, those who prosper at sale time are those who are prepared. This means investing time now in making your business attractive to buyers; knowing your worth; understanding the tax implications; and becoming familiar with the sale process.

So, as a business owner, what can you do now to make sure you are properly rewarded for your years of effort and sacrifice when you want to exit your business?

Our eBook The how, what and why of selling your business is full of strategies and tips to help you prepare for and sell your business, now or in the future.
