Selling your family business requires assembling a team of trusted advisors in various disciplines to create what's likely to be your single largest liquidity event. Only an interdisciplinary, multi-faceted team can maximize your chances to consummate your business sale and its potential proceeds.

In addition to ensuring your business will sell, and for as much after-tax proceeds as possible, assembling the right team will also make the sale process much less daunting and stressful. Your team can collaborate to address the buyer's skilled, professional team that seeks to reduce your price, particularly in the transaction's end stages.
