Discuss in confidence.
Deciding the future of a business you’ve built from the ground up is no small feat, especially after dedicating 30 years to its growth and success. As I find myself at this crossroads, the idea of selling the business or possibly bringing in a partner has been weighing heavily on my mind. It’s a pivotal moment that could define my financial comfort in retirement, yet navigating this decision feels more complex without a trusted advisor by my side.
The Hesitation with Traditional Advisors
Engaging a business broker or consulting a lawyer seems like the logical next step, yet it doesn’t feel right at the moment. The commitment to a broker might limit my options too soon, and frankly, the legal costs just for preliminary discussions seem prohibitive. What I crave is a candid, general conversation about possibilities without the pressure or fear of escalating costs.
The Value of a Trusted Advisor
Years ago, I had a friend who was my sounding board for business ideas and decisions. His insights were invaluable, but since his passing last year, that support structure has gone. Now, more than ever, I feel the absence of someone with whom I can discuss my business openly and confidentially.
My Business and Retirement
My business isn’t a large enterprise, but it has supported me well. Selling it seems like a viable option to secure a financially stable retirement. Yet, there’s also the option of taking on a strategic partner to infuse new energy and ideas into the company, which could enhance its value and sustainability.
