Selling a family business is a significant decision that requires careful planning and execution. Here are six key steps to ensure a successful sale.

When valuing a business, it’s important to understand that the process varies significantly depending on the size and type of the business. For businesses with under $5 million in revenue, often referred to as Main Street businesses, the valuation typically relies on a market-driven approach. However, as businesses grow, especially those in the lower Middle Market with revenues ranging from $5 million to $150 million, the valuation methodology becomes more sophisticated, often utilizing a discounted cash flow approach.

Family businesses hold a unique place in the economic landscape, often embodying the hard work, dedication, and values of generations. Deciding whether to sell or keep your family business is one of the most significant decisions you will face. This decision can be driven by numerous factors, including market conditions, family dynamics, and personal goals. Here, we explore the key considerations to help you determine the right course of action.
