I have a rule I'd like to introduce. If you're not familiar with Norm Brodsky, you probably should be.
Norm has been a contributor for Inc. magazine for years. A serial entrepreneur who has started and grown six different companies. Lately, Norm has been writing a column that details the incredibly complex and drawn-out process of selling CitiStorage, one of his six endeavors.
Each column details a new phase or challenge he's encountered during the process and I must say, his musings have been simultaneously intriguing and frustrating to follow. It seems the process of either buying a business or selling one (depending on which side you are on) is fraught with unseen obstacles whether those be morale of current employees, environmental regulations (one of Norm's problems) or adequate financing for the sale.
Even if you aren't currently in a position to either sell or acquire, reading through Norm's experience will open your eyes to the all the potential complexities involved in the process.
At Milestone Advisors, not only are we familiar with these complexities, we've helped many an entrepreneur sell their operations as well as buy other business that will enhance their products or brand.
We believe it an essential part of the process to contact a firm like ours who can objectively analyze the situation pre-sale and anticipate obstacles, thus building a strategic plan to ensure a smooth process. Such plans include organization assessment before a purchase or sale is made, market analysis (how will the sale or acquisition affect your remaining operations in the current economic client?) and much more.
Check out Norm's trials and tribulations throughout his process and if selling or buying is in your future, contact someone who can help you navigate through it.
