Not just anyone — the one who will extend your work, keep your teams and maintain the price.
Maximize the value
Preparing your accounts, governance and operational independence can multiply the value by 1.5 to 2.

Q1
Am I ready to let go operationally?
Emotionally and mentally, accepting to no longer be in charge requires preparation.
Q2
Can my business function without me?
If the answer is no, the buyer will see it immediately and the price will suffer.
Q3
Do I have a clear vision of what comes next?
New project, active retirement, inheritance transfer… Without a vision, the future can be a burden.

Waiting too long
Trying to sell with a knife to the throat reduces the value by 30 to 50%.
Neglecting preparation
Poorly presented accounts, dependence on the manager: all systematic deductions.
Do not bring anyone with you
Trying to mix emotions, negotiation, taxation and legal matters all by yourself is a recipe for failure.
Overestimating the value
A poorly defended price scares away genuine buyers and attracts opportunists.
