When To Sell Your Business Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso — your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Startup founders receive buyout offers throughout the life of the business. Even in the early days of the startup, they have the opportunity to sell the company. At each round of funding, the founder has the choice to raise more funding or sell it. Here’s a list of reasons to sell the business: The founder no longer wants to run or own the business. The business no longer appears to have a future due to changes in the market or competition. The offer is outsized in valuation due to unusual circumstances. There’s a strategic reason for selling the business that furthers the founders and investors goals. The founder should consult the investors before selling. In some cases, it may be better to shut down the business rather than sell it. Selling the business takes time and preparation to do it properly. Consider these points in deciding to sell your business. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let’s go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.
