How long does it take to sell a business?

It varies with the business, the buyer pool, and how prepared the financials are. Preparation is the stage owners most often underestimate, and it is the stage that most affects both the timeline and the final price.

Will my employees and customers find out I'm selling?

Not from us. Confidentiality is managed throughout: buyers are screened and bound before they see sensitive information, and the process is structured to protect the business while it is on the market.

What is the difference between the sale price and what I actually keep?

Tax and deal structure — often a very large difference. Structuring the transaction to protect your after-tax proceeds is a core part of a CPA-led sale, and it is why the same headline price can be worth materially different amounts to you.
