Founder & Owner Managed Business Considerations

Founders and owners often face a crossroads at the intersection of ownership transition and management succession:

  • finding a qualified buyer for the business;

  • educating themselves on the sale process;

  • identifying and training a successor;

  • retiring immediately to pursue other opportunities or passions;

  • staying involved but only in areas that provide a lot of energy;

  • receiving cash at closing to secure retirement;

  • retaining a small ownership position to get a “second bite at the apple”.
