The dynamics of selling a business have changed considerably over the years. Private equity firms are increasingly focused on creating synergies, and many founders are staying in the business even after the sale.
In this episode, Kevin Kaylakie speaks with Terese Everson, director at Focus Strategies Investment Banking, about the exit planning process and the factors that can affect the outcome.
Kevin and Terese discuss:
- How Focus Strategies helps businesses in the lower middle market
- Biggest value creators and detractors (and what the valuation process looks like)
- Why more founders are staying involved even after the sale
- The mental preparation before letting go of the business
- And more
