Selling Your Small Business
No, we are not thinking of selling our small business - or should I say, Toni’s small business (because Copytext Online is very much her baby) but it is an interesting situation to consider.
It is especially interesting for those who have a small business that is saleable. I really doubt that the current incarnation of Toni’s business is saleable but there certainly are many small businesses out there that could be sold.
In fact there are some who would suggest that your business should always be for sale. I guess that depends on whether the price is right or not but I certainly have heard of small business people who have been quietly working away. doing their thing, and suddenly find that the person who has just walked through the door has come to buy the whole business.
So think about what your response might be if someone did suddenly offer to buy your business and while you’re doing that have a look at The Ideal Time to Sell a Business - if you can cut through the jargon and get to the plain-speak you might find it helpful.
