A lot of entrepreneurs make the mistake of putting all their eggs in one basket. In other words, they only invest in their company and when they plan on retiring, they can’t sell their company. My next guest is a financial planner who specifically helps small and mid-sized business owners get on the right track with selling their companies. In this episode, she talks about the 5 pitfalls to avoid when selling a company, what percentage of entrepreneurs are prepared for retirement (it’s less than you think), and what actions entrepreneurs can take to make their company sellable. Please welcome, Violetta Terpeluk
