Creating and Maintaining Leverage

Tip of the Week

Create and maintain leverage when you go to sell your business. Here are some things you should focus on to keep leverage:

• Create an auction process where there are multiple buyers to acquire your business.
• Once you sign a letter of intent with a single buyer, focus on making sure your business doesn’t deteriorate during the sale process.
• Don’t mentally “spend the money” before the deal closes.

Your ultimate leverage is your willingness to not sell, so keep that mindset throughout.
