If you’re thinking about selling your construction company and gaining the best outcomes, it’s imperative that you take the necessary steps today towards making sure it’s saleable. The process is far more complex than just putting up an announcement that it’s for sale, especially since potential buyers will have to look into a number of things before they even consider buying your company.
In this week’s Construction Genius podcast episode, I am joined by Brent Beshore, founder and CEO of Permanent Equity. We talk about transfer issues that most companies face and key things buyers are looking for in a company. We also discuss what nepotism is and how to avoid it. This is a very informative and helpful discussion especially for those who are planning on selling their companies.
Tune in today and gain amazing insights from this topic.
