There are five common, and sometimes very costly, mistakes that we see Australian business owners make when selling their small or medium enterprises (SME) / business.
Mistakes to Avoid When Selling a Small or Medium Size Business
1. Not making your SME business “Sale Ready”?
Abraham Lincoln said “I will prepare and someday my chance will come.”
2. Not understanding who might want to buy your SME business
you understand your customers, so why not understand who might want to buy your business?
3. Not understanding how much their SME business is worth
when selling anything it’s handy to know what it is worth, but do you know what your business is worth?
4.Not running a professional sale process for your SME business

5. Leaving it too late to sell
