Will a buyer want me to stay after the sale?

Many buyers appreciate a transition period during which the previous owner helps introduce customers, employees, vendors, and business processes. The length and scope of that transition vary depending on the business and the terms negotiated between the parties.

A thoughtful transition can help maintain continuity, preserve customer confidence, and support the long-term success of the business under new ownership.

If you’re considering selling your business, transition planning is an important topic that can often be discussed early in the process.
