The decision to sell a business is never an easy one. There are a lot of factors to consider, and it’s important to get professional advice.
In general, the best time to sell a business is when it is performing well. This means the financials are trending upwards and sales are strong. The team is also strong and there is a lot of demand. Although it can be difficult to leave a business that is performing well, it might be worth it.

Many businesses are not attractive to potential buyers because they are not profitable or because they have significant problems. Finally, the process of selling a business can be complex and time-consuming, which can deter some potential buyers.
