Why You Should Prepare to Sell Your Business Long Before You’re Ready To Walk Away

For many small business owners, finding a buyer for their company is an elusive goal. Mac Lackey has done it six times. 

His latest venture, ExitDNA, guides entrepreneurs on how to best position their companies to be acquired, should they ever wish to sell.

Monday Morning Radio host Maxwell Rotbart engaged Mac in a wide-ranging discussion about what entrepreneurs need to know at each stage of their operations — from inception to disposition.

Among the advice Lackey shares is how to choose a location for your company, the role that passion plays in starting a venture, hiring strong employees, the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make, and what pitfalls to avoid when selling your company. Mac even touches on what entrepreneurs looking to acquire other businesses need to know.

How can you achieve the success that Mac has? The answers abound on this week’s podcast.
