There may be many reasons why a business owner may be thinking of selling, and it can be an exciting opportunity to the next chapter in life.
Working with founder-owned businesses for over 25+ years, Houlihan Capital has assisted and supported business owners in a wide range of reasons for exit. In this summary, we will discuss reasons why it may be time to sell.
Retirement.
- Owners may be ready to be less involved in the day-to-day operations of the business. With age, focusing on other things such as retirement planning or spending more time with loved ones may be a bigger priority.
- When stepping down, there may be some concern regarding the future of the business.
- Leisure time may play a major role in the consideration of selling.
Health.
- Owners may be facing serious health conditions and it is becoming more difficult to work and focus on the business’s needs.
Financial Reasons.
- The business may be doing very well, and there is an opportunity to partner with outside parties for financial reasons.
- There is a market for growth in the industry.
- There may be an opportunity to invest in a different business venture, and selling will help fund new ideas.

We are committed to structuring a tailored approach to assist our clients in achieving their strategic, financial and risk-management objectives.
