If you want top offers, you need to understand what buyers value most. Spoiler: it’s not just your revenue.

Top Buyer Priorities:

  • Consistent cash flow
  • Strong leadership team
  • Documented processes
  • Growth potential
  • Minimal reliance on the owner

How to Stand Out:
Start improving these factors years before you plan to sell. The more transferable and scalable your business, the more buyers will compete for it.

Key Takeaway:
A buyer’s dream business is one that runs well without its owner. Make that your goal, and you’ll maximize value. We help you position your business to attract the right buyers—and the right price.
