The worst time to sell is when you're forced to — by burnout, health issues, or market downturns. If you're even thinking about it, you're probably closer to ready than you realize. The best outcomes come from owners who start planning 2–3 years before they actually want to close. How is a small business valued?Most small businesses are valued using the market approach — looking at what comparable businesses actually sold for, expressed as a multiple of the owner's earnings. The earnings metric is either SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings) for businesses under ~$1M in earnings, or EBITDA for larger businesses. The applicable multiple depends on the industry, growth rate, risk factors, and market conditions. This is supplemented by an asset-based approach and, for larger businesses, a discounted cash flow analysis. What are the steps in selling a business?In order: (1) Decision and preparation (3–24 months before listing). (2) Hire a broker and sign a listing agreement. (3) Financial normalization and valuation. (4) Create marketing materials (blind profile and CIM). (5) Confidential marketing to qualified buyers. (6) Buyer qualification and NDA process. (7) Buyer meetings and facility tours. (8) Receive and negotiate offers (LOIs). (9) Due diligence (30–90 days). (10) Negotiate and sign the purchase agreement. (11) Satisfy closing conditions. (12) Close and transfer ownership.
