As seen on
When it comes time to sell their company, most business owners will either “self-medicate” or hire an advisor like an investment bank. In either case, generating interest from several different potential buyers will create your best results – competition between buyers forces them to put their best foot forward. Having multiple bids will not only increase the ultimate purchase price for your business, it will also significantly increase the odds that your deal closes (if one buyer flakes out, there is another in the wings to take their place).
