The Complete Guide to Selling a Business: A Roadmap to the Successful Sale of Your Business

“Very helpful and informative. Mr. Orosz seasons his advice with a lot of practical experience and real-life examples. Other guides of this sort tend to miss the forest for the trees, but the author zeroes in on the things that matter most to business owners. This book is particularly valuable, even if you aren’t planning to sell your business soon.”

Some of my favorite business books are born out of the chaos of actually running a business. What I really liked about this guide in particular is that it is based on the real-world scenarios and common questions that the author (who specializes in appraising and selling small businesses at Morgan & Westfield) has seen first hand. It’s filled with very practical and to-the-point answers. Selling your business is obviously a very big event and of course you’ll have lots of questions. This book does a great job of prepping you to have smart conversations with your advisors.

It’s quite hard to find books about selling a small business, so when I saw this book, I grabbed it and started reading. I’m glad I read this because I didn’t realize there are many things I don’t know about selling. There are lots of useful information in this book that I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t grab this at that time I saw it. Highly recommended.

Providing a successful exit strategy for franchisees is an important goal for any franchisor. We work hard to help franchisees succeed and want to assist in the resale process. We’ve worked with Jacob because he offers great advice to our selling franchisees and also takes the time to find buyers that meet our stringent qualification criteria. When I read Jacob’s book I found it to be so informative I’m recommending it to franchisees looking for their exit strategy. I also believe it would be valuable for anyone thinking about selling a business, franchised or independent. Most business owners don’t understand selling their business is very different from selling or marketing their product or service and Jacob’s book provides valuable insights to help sellers expedite the selling process as well as tips to get their asking price.

A must-read book for business owners whether they want to sell now or in the future. I’m glad that I found this book. It made me realize that selling takes time and a lot of preparation. And part of that preparation is to use detailed books like this to learn as much information as possible about selling a business rather than simply relying on what the broker will tell me when the time comes that I already want to sell.
