Succession Planning & Selling Your Business
Succession Planning & Selling Your Business
Core to our purpose is supporting the development of Atlantic Canadian companies and entrepreneurs. Our expertise, experience and network allow us to help you build a plan and transition your business. Through our Succession Planning & Selling Your Business service, we simplify the process while maximizing the earnings that you receive on the sale.
Our 3 steps to selling your business as described in detail below are Planning, Selling, and Closing.
