We now have a generation of entrepreneurs who, if they had been told a few years ago they would still be working in their 50’s, 60’s or even 70’s would have responded with ridicule and their visions of a glorious stress-free retirement.

Somehow life hasn't worked out the way they thought it would. The cost of living keeps rising, retirement funds have been decimated, children have gone their own way and businesses are not easy to sell for what the owners know they are really worth.

Who knows - maybe you won’t want to sell after all. If we can be of assistance in getting ready to sell or not sell, let us know. WarrenBDC 416-270-2466. A2E |
