selling a business : Climbing mount everest

If you’ve ever climbed Mt. Everest, you probably had a kick*** sherpa.

Okay, so most of us haven’t climbed Mt. Everest, but maybe you’ve heard of a Sherpa?

A Sherpa is an expert mountaineer known for helping lead treks up Mt. Everest. They are highly skilled, well aware of the terrain, and highly regarded for their experience and know-how.  As a business broker, I am like a deal sherpa. I bring a team of experts to help our clients get to the top of their “mountain”: buying or selling a business. 

Statistics show selling a small business is the biggest financial feat that a small business owner will accomplish in their life. As your business grows, your attorney or CPA will often let you know when things are looking good and it’s appropriate to sell.  Or, maybe you’ll just have a desire to sell because you’re looking to get more, or something different, out of life. 

The decision to sell is like getting all of your mountain climbing gear ready to go, and standing at the foot of Everest. 

You could try to climb it alone - but that would be ridiculous, because there’s a Sherpa waiting at the foot of the mountain with you. <<that’s us, here to serve<<

An experienced Sherpa, who’s led tons of teams up this mountain. Why on earth would you go alone?

Did you know there are roughly 30 steps that need to be successfully navigated in order to sell your company? <<<told you, it’s an Everest!!!<<<

While that may seem like a lot, it’s not that big of a deal, since you have a Sherpa. You know that this Sherpa can successfully maneuver through:
