P&L: Priorities & Lifestyle Episode 65 - How To Prepare Your Business To Be Sold with Steve Conwell

Steve Conwell, Founder/CEO of Final Ascent, joined me this week for a conversation all about optimizing your business’s exit strategy. Steve actually went through a business sale himself years ago and realized that their strategy wasn’t the best and, had he known what he does now, the sale would’ve gone so much smoother. So, Steve founded Final Ascent, where he now works with business owners years ahead of selling their businesses to make sure they’ve got all their ducks in a row when it comes to sellability. Steve actually recommends starting to prepare to sell your business at least 3 years ahead of the sale, and he walks me through his entire process and some key things to watch out for if you’re a business owner who wants to streamline your company.

Join us this week on P&L to learn what it takes to prepare your business to be sold!
