You Don't Know What You Don't Know

You've worked hard to build your business, and now you want to sell. But how do you do that? How much is your business worth? How long will it take? Will the sale bring enough for you to retire? Are you even ready to sell?

Of course, you can try to sell the business yourself. Or maybe you should get professional help. There are a lot of steps involved in selling a business, and how you complete those steps can dramatically impact the amount of money you receive when the sale closes. This step-by-step guide shows you how to get the most from the sale of your business.

This book is the second in a series designed to share knowledge with business owners. To find out more about other helpful books and offerings visit www.YouDontKnowWhatYouDontKnow.com.

My partner, Terry Lammers, and I decided to trade- mark this phrase and use it to write a series of books de- signed to share knowledge with business owners. Our vision is to write about things we know that are not well known-buying and selling businesses, valuing businesses, working with trusted advisers, etc. We hope our books will help fill that gap in knowledge.

This book is the second in a series which we expect will grow in number. Our publisher, Nancy Erickson of Stonebrook Publishing, has developed an incredibly useful process for us to write these books. If you have a book in you, we strongly encourage you to go to www.TheBookProfessor. com to learn more about how to get your idea on paper and into the marketplace.
