XPX DC Metro - How to help an owner identify the health and readiness of their company and themselves

“Have you ever wondered why one business has buyers lining up to pay top dollar while another sits on the market for months or years? What do buyers look for in a prospective business acquisition?

The characteristics buyers seek are called Value Drivers, and they must exist before the sale process even begins. Value Drivers are characteristics of both the business and the owner that either reduce the risk associated with owning the business or enhance the prospect that the business will grow significantly in the future.

This month, John Hrastar is going to unpack for us how to help an owner identify their health and readiness and focus in on the key value drivers that minimize risk and maximize the value of the company.
