The Retiring Owner's Guide to Selling Your Small Business
The Free Guide Every Retiring Business Owner Needs First.
12 chapters. No cost. No catch. Just the foundation you need before you make any decisions about selling your business.
You've spent years — maybe decades — building your business. Before you call a broker, talk to a buyer, or tell a single employee, you need to understand what your business is actually worth, what the process looks like, and what decisions will cost you the most if you get them wrong.
The Retiring Owner's Guide to Selling Your Business — Foundations Edition gives you that foundation for free. Written by Connecticut attorney Natalie J. Real, this 12-chapter guide covers the questions every owner asks before the sale process begins — in plain language, without the sales pitch.
What's Inside — 12 Chapters:
How much is my business actually worth? Five valuation methods explained
How do I sell my business? A step-by-step overview of the entire process
How can I increase my business value before I go to market?

What You'll Be Ready For After Reading:
By the time you finish this guide you'll know what your business is worth, what buyers look for, what the tax consequences look like before you negotiate anything, and whether selling is even the right move for your situation. That clarity alone is worth more than the $0 it costs.
