If you don't mind my asking what kind of business did you sell?? I also have a small business, actually two, one is a carpet cleaning company the other a chimney cleaning, servicing business. the chimney business has been around since 1992.
I work in the chimney business most every day with a helper at times that also does the carpet cleaning when that gets busy.
We have two kids, one a senior in college, one senior HS, so we have 4-5ish yrs before the "big break" can happen.
I was wondering how long it took to sell the business and did you advertise it yourself or have a business selling agent handle that for you.
Did you get what you thought it was worth or what someone was willing to pay for it??
thanks and happy trails. maybe we will meet out there somewhere.
