When you’ve finally sold your business, can you jump on the next cruise ship and sail away? Nope. You’ll leave money on the table, or worse still, sink the deal if you do that. Matt Coyne, an experienced M&A Advisor, explains how planning ahead for the transition period can make the deal go more smoothly and potentially add value to your company.
“You should use the transition time for your legacy.”
