Craig is one of the investment bankers on the Exitwise platform, and we decided to have on to share his particular expertise for guiding first time sellers to not leave money on the table when selling their companies. In today's discussion, we chat about what to watch out for with unsolicited offers. We talk about translating emotion into finance by educating our clients before and throughout the entire sale process.
And finally, we share why all business owners should have an investment banker on speed dial years before you're ready to sell your business.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Craig Dickens.
