Thinking about selling? Use the Selling a Business Planning Sheet

WRITTEN BYJames Price | JPAbusiness

Selling a business is a massive undertaking and not one to be entered into lightly.

We created our free Selling a Business Planning Sheet as a ‘first step’ resource for business owners thinking about selling.

The template contains 20 questions designed to prompt you to undertake the necessary thinking, planning and acting that will ensure you and your business are well prepared for the sale process.

Questions include:

  • Have you prepared a marketing plan?
  • Have you prepared a confidentiality agreement for interested parties to sign?

If you are considering selling your business, download the free template and work through the questions to help place your business in the best position for a successful sale.
