Legally, the answer is yes, but it's often not in your best interest due to the complexities and demands of the process. Selling a business is time-consuming and requires significant attention to detail, which can divert your focus from running your company effectively. Partnering with an experienced advisory firm allows you to continue managing your business while experts handle the sale process. This ensures a smoother transaction, mitigates risks and helps maximize your financial returns.

It is always best to sell a business when you want to, rather than when you have to. This means you should go to market when you are fully prepared. Ideally, you want to time your exit to match the solid performance of your business with peak selling cycles in the private capital markets. The earlier you start planning, the more control you will have over the process.

Our role is to make your exit as seamless and successful as possible. For most business owners, exiting is a life changing process, culminating in years of hard work and perseverance. We recognize the importance of this event. We know the opportunities and hazards owners face in times of transition. Speedshift Advisors offers the knowledge and practical experience to realize the most effective exit.

Most entrepreneurs only sell one company in their career. If this is your first, then you could be at a severe disadvantage when dealing with professional buyers, many of whom complete several acquisitions annually. Receiving trusted M&A advisory services evens the playing field, and helps you feel more assured throughout the exit process.
