Selling a business is a great way to exit or fund your retirement, but it isn’t always easy. Statistics show that only 1 in 15 businesses listed for sale actually sell, and that statistic is only due to get worse as the Baby Boomer population starts to retire and supply outstrips demand.

But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible; you just need the right strategy and advice.

You might think that a business broker can help you facilitate a sale, but the sad truth is that you can pay their upfront fee and still find yourself unable to sell. In fact, 92% of businesses listed with a broker haven’t sold after a year!

If you want to sell your business quickly and easily, you need to take a different approach.
